The fact that people decided to go and see a movie that I was in was probably the most shocking thing that I've ever been through.

• When I was a kid they didn't call it dyslexia. They called it you know, you were slow, or you were retarded, or whatever.

If you read to me, I could tell you everything that you read. They didn't know what it was. They knew I wasn't lazy, but what was it?
