I think I would have had less tumult in my life if I hadn't grown up in my particular house.

Being a child star is great. It's being a former child star that sucks.

When I was living on the street I would be standing out in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater, leaning against my car and signing autographs and nobody had any idea that I was living in it.

The fact is, I made $400 a week and only for 26 weeks a year. I never had any money.

Now it seems like people want to do damage to young celebrities. They want to find them doing bad things. They encourage them.

If you have an impossible dream, a dream that cannot be fulfilled, the friendly thing for me to do is to put a stop to you wasting your life at it.

Being an ex-child star is not a given.
