I'm the most out-of-work actor I know. In the last two years I've basically taken meetings for a living.

All the child-star clichés. I've tried very hard to avoid them all.

Because of what I did when I was 10 years old, I'm not living from paycheck to paycheck, and I can do things because I want to do them.

I do have a family, and I do have friends, and so-called friends, and acquaintances, and many other people I see only around Christmas time. Maybe they could vouch for me. Maybe they could testify to my existence and save a part of me that thinks I'm no better than a bag of potato chips.

It's a place where I could do something on a weekly basis and see if I like it.

Acting found me. I thought maybe I should try to find it again. We'll see.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.
