"I live my life with these sets of rules I've to follow, my friends have to follow for me not to have a panic attack or a triggering event or I relive the trauma, even from training to do. For instance, in my movie, for training for Aquaman, a combat scene and a trigger happen. I have a meltdown and have to deal with that; the crew I work with has to deal with that because of the damage I walk around with every day. I am not sitting in this courtroom snickering. I'm not sitting in this courtroom laughing, smiling, or making snide jokes. I'm not. This is horrible."
