I never used needles, but I was into heroin, cocaine – those are the things I’ll never touch again.

Becoming an actor wasn’t a choice – it was something I was forced into. At 3, you can’t make those choices... I supported my family, and if I got fired or missed an audition, I’d be punished as if I’d messed up in school. I was starved, because they wanted to keep my weight at a certain place; my hair was bleached – that was my life. I wasn’t allowed to play with kids on my block or ride a bike or play ball, in case I got a scratch – I wasn’t even allowed to be bar mitzvahed because I couldn’t attend enough lessons.

I'd say that animal rights and environmental issues have always been at the forefront of my mind.

When I had my child, I planned on being with the woman I had him with for the rest of my life. If that doesn't work out, you have to see things from a different perspective.

I've always kind of lived my life to be as much as possible a positive role model for children.

Thrillers are my favorite. I like stuff that keeps you on the edge of your seat or maybe makes you jump.

You have to stay updated on trends, social things and pop culture, you need to stay with the times and keep evolving.
