I was 19 and he was 35. I wasn’t educated that it was okay to ask for help. I didn’t know that you could ask for help. I didn’t know that you could call 911. I didn’t know that you could talk to your neighbor. I didn’t know any of those things. I was a drug addict and it over took my life.

Everything started when I was 13-years-old and now my eldest is 13. I started using drugs when I was 13. I want them [my children] to have a better life than I did.

In response to Marlee Matlin’s book, William Hurt says that he has apologized for any pain that he caused and that he wishes Marlee and her family nothing but good.
