Of course The Exorcist change...

Of course The Exorcist changed my entire life. I don't think there are very many people that will have the experience of sitting in this room, doing a job, and the next thing you know you've been on every television camera around the world, and people are they're frightened of you.

If you know me, I don't live ...

If you know me, I don't live in this dismal world. I mean, I like to have fun. My friends are comedians.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

Look what they did to MaCaule...

Look what they did to MaCauley Culkin. The poor child. I know because I've been there. But I could say after living my life, truth will always win out. And no one can take my character away from me anymore.

I like having little kids look at me. It's fun. They make these little faces.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

I've had people appear in my ...

I've had people appear in my life that have helped me. I had more fun. I approached it thinking how would Jack Nicholson, "How would he do it?" So that's really what I did was I created this Gremlin character. So now people come up and they say 'Oh The Exorcist!'.. and I'm like "Did you see Repossessed?" They say either no or yes or whatever, and I say look at this, have a laugh, and then go back and look at a masterpiece.

I had no way to have a sense ...

I had no way to have a sense of humor about The Exorcist. I didn't know how. And this enabled me.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

When I was thirteen I basical...

When I was thirteen I basically asked my mother if it was possible for this to end, that I'd had enough of it. And I truly had had enough. And that was right about the time that we got a call for a movie interview.

Modeling was pretty difficult...

Modeling was pretty difficult back then. I did not find the business something that I had an interest in. I wanted to be a veterinarian.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

I have been a vegetarian for ...

I have been a vegetarian for about 10 years. And it really was due to the reading that I did. And they explain so that you understand why it's important for the planet's survival along with compassion for animals. It certainly made it much easier for me. I lost weight really fast. My mother died from cancer so this is all very personal to me. And I just would like the planet to be a better place. And I think you'll find a vegetarian diet to be really incredible these days

Linda Blair 52 quotes

We didn't talk about devil on...

We didn't talk about devil on the set. My mother and I didn't talk about it. Billy Friedkin and I didn't talk about it. It was a closet subject. But it was the best thing that happened because I had no idea what I was going.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

I didn't have a clue. I grew ...

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.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

If I had children, I would be...

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.

Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

People always joke that 'dog'...

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.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

It's difficult to understand why people don't realize that pets are gifts to mankind.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

I was so sad from losing two ...

I was so sad from losing two of my dogs and my mother. I had this vision of all these animals sitting behind bars. They had no control and were scared. That's why I got into fostering and adopting animals out.

There was a golden retriever who saved countless lives on September 11 by going back in to find people. His companion was in a wheelchair. He got him out and kept going back in to save others.

Linda Blair 52 quotes

One of the reasons I don't have kids is because I think people would have been very unfair to them. Think of it. You're still asking me questions about The Exorcist.
