It was easy for me to leave acting for school, because I wasn't really in it as an adolescent for fulfilling reasons.

There's a theory out there that if you're in a public profession you're fair game. I couldn't disagree with that idea more. Especially with children - half the time they don't choose to be in that profession. For people to objectify other people's lives - kids or not - I find very tedious and tiresome. People who have a craft, that's their job. Their job isn't to create fodder for other people who are bored.

I've been poked fun of throughout my career by fellow actors for my notes that I take. I have spiral notebooks that I carry with me on every project I do, and I take notes just so that if I have to relive a scene, if I have to go back, I know what I did.

I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole, but I don't watch politics for sport.

Right now I'm just thinking about school and trying to get those grades and keep them up! In case I become a Norma Desmond when I grow up, I can have something to fall back on!

When I graduated from college I thought I was over with show business and was pursuing other things.

Kissing Macaulay Culkin was like kissing a brother. It was really no big deal.
