I longed to fly. I was paid in flying lessons and, by the time I was 13, I'd logged 100 hours at the controls.

I think children learn from example. I don't believe in raising them in an authoritative atmosphere.

True friendships don't fade in Hollywood, as so many myths about show business would have you insist.

Frequently parents forget that children are people. I don't try to treat Kristen as an adult, but I do try to treat her as a person, with a child's sensibilities.

I answer a fan with a hearing heart first.
