They tease me about the Oscar, about having won the Oscar. But sweetly! - Linda Hunt

Everybody either wanted to take care of me or push me around, you know? I was teased a lot, sure I was, of course. Fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, everybody was taking their spurts except me. I was not growing up.

I think people have always liked in me the combination of being the underdog because I’m a tiny woman, but I have enormous authority in myself.

I was so lucky my parents were encouraging on every level.
