Quote: "Q: You once said that if it weren't for Scientology you would be in an alley. What did you mean? A: That was probably a while back when I was a teenager and a lot more dramatic. I grew up with Scientology – my parents at one point were clerical. It's a pragmatic philosophy, not merely a belief system. Yeah, it's had media exposure because certain luminaries do Scientology, but millions of people do it who are not celebrities. It's not a threat or some cult."</ref><ref>[http://www.religionfacts.com/celebrities/religions_of_celebrities.htm Religion of Celebrities], quoting ''ABC News''</ref> and participated in the gala opening of Scientology's controversial "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" Museum in December 2005.<ref>[http://www.cchr.org/index.cfm/12423 CCHR Museum Opening, 2005]</ref>
