'The Fighter' was about a family struggling to overcome and fighting each other sometimes, and I went back and rewrote this script which I had written for my son initially because my son has mood disorder.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great.
Every fighter has a story that could break your heart. We lose, we get hurt and everything comes apart. That's when it's so difficult to stay on the straight and narrow.
I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.
Everyone can relate to the story of fighting for happiness.
I needed something to challenge myself a little more. I found fighting, and it completely fit my personality.
I can't read, I don't know how to write, my whole life has been one big fight.
I've always been a fighter - it's always been a part of my personality.
I wrote my first script, which was 50 pages, at age 15. It was about two brothers in love with the same nurse while they're convalescing in a Civil War hospital.
I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.
If I could find a way to make a film that takes you into the mind of a fighter, where you have 36 minutes of combat with so many different emotions, so many highs and lows, so many obstacles to overcome, I'd do that.
