"I act; I paint; I play music; I read a lot. It keeps the brain active."

"Stella is good at keeping me in a harness," he joked.
"I spend hours in the studio painting, and she’ll come in and say, ‘Enough.’ I don’t have much common sense."

"One of my teachers told her I was a mystery [when I was young],” he revealed.
"I didn’t speak to other kids; I didn’t play sports; I didn’t even go to the school plays. But I was tired of being called stupid, and I thought, ‘One day I’ll show you all.’ And I became this other person. My career took off."
Did it ever!
Way to go, Anthony!
