amish animals
The Amish do many other things that are good. Let them do that. Let the animals go.
authority comfort figures loving modern parents relationship remote source warm
Modern parents want a warm and loving relationship with their children, and to be a source of encouragement, comfort and support. We want to be friends without children, not remote or frightening authority figures as our own parents may have been.
box cross odd saying sticking terrible
I thought it was very odd that I had a cross and that I was sticking it in a box saying terrible language. But I have to say that I did not understand.
stop
They were very persistent. They didn't stop writing or calling.
religious dog animal
People always joke that 'dog' spells 'god' backwards. They should consider that it might be the higher power coming down to see just how well they do, what kind of people they are. The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.
seems
I've lived through what seems to most - and myself - many lives.
kids violence care
Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.
thanksgiving turkeys bird
Turkeys are misunderstood. Once I adopted turkeys, I understood this large bird to be a great companion.
children selfish kids
If I had children, I would be very selfish. I wouldn't be out doing things. But by not having kids, it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.
book reading doe
For me reading the book [The Exorcist], I had the same questions that everyone else had. How does she jump up and down off the bed? How does her head spin around? How does she throw up?
children safety catholic
I didn't have a clue. I grew up Protestant in Connecticut at the Saugatuck Congregational Church. We didn't talk about the devil. That's Catholicism. And so, that was my safety net. And I always say, it's probably a good thing they didn't hire a Catholic child, who may have heard about the devil, the things that were in the closet. And no one wanted to discuss them.
way sense-of-humor exorcist
I had no way to have a sense of humor about The Exorcist. I didn't know how. And this enabled me.
children thinking would-be
I think that if I'd not made the movie, I might be a veterinarian in Connecticut. I would probably be married with some children. That's probably the way it would be. But because of the film [the Exorcist], I don't have a normal life by somebody else's standards.
powerful mean people
I was lucky. I had some really good people that were just here there and wherever who would come into my life that I felt would answer questions. I mean, I had some very powerful questions myself for what this earth was all about.
