It was a real rough year and a half. I was getting 80 shots every four weeks.

I did try to leave, and she came running after me.

It was a real rough year and a half. I was getting 80 shots every four weeks.

But I thought love would more than prevail.

And I told her point blank, you've got everything to live for. You've got such talent. You're back singing great, lose the weight. And she went and did it, and look at her now!

Yeah, she was hitting me hard. She was drunk and she was hitting me hard.

No, but Liza took went and took away from me, possibly my livelihood.

I don't have to announce all the women I've slept with.

She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.

If you're a man, you don't have to worry about your manliness.

She was making great money at personal appearances.

I never had migraines. Never had migraines.

I knew I couldn't solve it. Because I couldn't figure out what made her drink when things were going well.

Because I would give it all back to have my health.

No one should have to live like that when they've done only good things for the person.

I can help a lot of other people who've gone through the same thing by building a center that will help men and women who don't have the funds to take care of themselves and get the medical treatment.

She just kept hitting me in the head with her fists, over, and over and over.

She got the magazine on a Wednesday morning, and on Thursday announced our marriage was over.

And she could never give me an answer. And I realized that, you know, I had a problem on my hands.

On stage, don't go near her. She's the best performer in the world.

It looks like I'm this huge shark going in for the kill... I don't know what I was thinking.

But when alcohol comes in, start running. Because there's a demon there, and it goes back to her childhood.

I'm into women. I've always loved women.

I was already set for life when I met her.

I'm really excited that I'm able to work again.

I was naive enough to think that I could make the difference.

But she told me she was never going to drink again.

If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before.

She'd hit me before but never over and over and over and over into the head.

Liza, I love you more than any words can say. You have made me a complete person. You are everything to me. And I cannot think of living life without you. And I love you forever.

She bit my bodyguard. She bit him in the stomach.

I know he was definitely beaten by her. I saw it many times. But we had a different way of dealing with her. He'd let her have more and more booze until she passed out.

I didn't really feel I was being hurt, but you could feel it.

And Michael likes to read a lot. People don't realize that about him but he reads a number of books per week and he's fascinated just about every subject.

America is a young country with an old mentality.

I started as a director and just fell upon acting.

I need to rein myself in sometimes.

I liked hockey and I still like hockey.

As a child, I would demand that visitors to our house tell me a story. I was intensely interested in everything - still am.

He's my favorite! He wrote and produced, and starred in and cast all of his movies! Can you imagine? I get really excited when I talk about Charlie Chaplin.

Our failure as a society to properly acknowledge and confront the psychological, social, and political effects of white privilege has perpetuated racial inequality and race-based political resentments.

What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.

I feel like jeans and a T-shirt have become Establishment. Everyone's dressed down. So actually, putting on a jacket is the anti-Establishment stance.

To see him there lifeless and breathless was very emotional for me. But I held myself together because I knew he's very much alive in his spirit, and that was just a shell. But I kissed him on his forehead, and I hugged him, and I touched him and I said, 'Michael, I'll never leave you. You'll never leave me.'

It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt, to get to the point of having nothing, for me to finally realize, Hey, what are you fighting with this for? Until then, I hadn't claimed my faith as my own; I had just grown up with it.
