I think I was about 33 when I became an activist in 1970.

And before then, I wasn't involved in anything.

I was kind of hedonistic.

I kind of knew if I really get involved, my life is going to change.

And I kind of stayed away.

And then it was American soldiers that got me to understand

the Vietnam War, and my whole life changed.

And then, because I lived in France, I moved back here, and because it was soldiers that had opened my eyes, I became part of the GI movement.

But it was the people that I met.

They were different than people I had ever met before.

I'd always been... I'd grown up in a world where everybody was judged how you looked.

Are you thin enough?

Are you this enough?

Are you... Oh, God, there was so much pressure.

And suddenly it was like, what kind of a person are you?

It wasn't like what you looked like.

It was like looking through a keyhole at the world we were fighting for.

And so...

You know, we're the entertainment industry writ large.

We create the dreams.
