Looking back I didn’t even know I was depressed, I was just so used to feeling that way and thought that was what life was. I tried telling my family and friends but they just blow you off and say: ‘Yeh right.’ They don’t know what it is, so they just don’t want to be around that.

‘The Stand’ came out in May of ’94 and was seen by 60 million people a night for four nights, and then two months later, ‘Forrest Gump’ opened. So within a very short time, I went from being depressed about not getting any work to being in two of the most popular shows of the year.
