I was falsely arrested twice, slandered and defamed.

I was held hostage and almost executed by a man who was robbing us in the middle of the night.

I had been imprisoned three times and had twice been incarcerated in a madhouse.

I was tortured, and probably half of it was deserved, but I was bullied - so much so that there were days when I was like, 'I can't go to school today.' I was too scared.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

Growing up, I think I was arrested 20-odd times by the Boston police. The good news is that I've been able to use those experiences in a lot of my roles, and that has been a blessing.

My brother and I tortured my mother growing up.

While I was in jail, they handcuffed me and took me to a backroom, where a detective from the FBI and a Secret Service agent were, and they interrogated me for about three or four hours.

My arrest in Egypt happened in 2002, and I was convicted to five years as a political prisoner.
