You have moments where you do appearances and people recognize you and you get fan letters, but that's after you've put in long days rehearsing, filming and for us kids - going to school on the set.

It surprises me every day that this (Eddie Haskell) character is still so popular. I don't completely understand it but it's nice.

I had great parents, and they trained me well and instilled great values in me. They also taught me common sense about money and that I couldn't count on the good fortune of doing a show forever. Therefore, I never spent money I didn't have and didn't end up destitute like other child actors.

I realized that there are just certain things in life that are private. I have things in my past - like everyone - that I'm not proud of.

I credit my parents for instilling in me a good work ethic and the sensibility that God serves those best who serve themselves.
