You always fear, when you're making a movie that has a moral to the story, that people are going to reject the idea of being taught a lesson...

People are giving me more respect.

I was really bored and unhappy in school, and I used to act out and do horrible things.

I don't come from money.

I hate the things they preach. They found a gimmick that sells. The fact that they're making money off all these teenage kids who actually believe in their message is disgusting.

I've done and said a lot of things when I was younger that I don't know if I even understood what I was doing or why I was doing it. There's a lot of compassion in understanding what people go through and even in trying to understand why a person would act the way they do. I was a very reactive person, and I did things that were just really bizarre; I don't think people understood it at all.

I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.
