ET is looking back at our 2001 interview with Anne Heche, in which she shared why she wanted to tell her story, in her own words.
at the time, following their breakup, Heche parked her car on a highway in central California and strolled down the road into a desert for a mile, before getting to a stranger’s home. By the time police arrived, Heche had claimed she was God and would take everyone back to heaven"in some sort of spaceship." She later confessed to Larry King that she had had a"hit of ecstasy" when she got out of her SUV and was under the influence of the drug when making those statements.
As for the title, Heche said she"believed" she had been"crazy" even though she"was not diagnosed as crazy." It was also a bit tongue-in-cheek, serving as a message to everyone calling her crazy behind her back and in the headlines.Call Me Crazy Heche continued,"And I'm happy that I'm here where I am. And also, I wanted people to understand that I know what people say about me behind my back or even in the headlines, you know? There's people who've called me crazy, so go ahead and call me crazy."
"People have wanted to call me gay. People have wanted to call me straight. People have wanted to call me bisexual. You wanna call me crazy? Call me crazy. I'm here. I'm thrilled with where I am in my life. I feel like I've survived something that some people don't. I've done it in a way that certainly wasn't perfect, but I'm here," she added.
