When my oldest brother started acting. From there, I wanted to act myself. That's the long story short.

It's a little bit annoying, because it feels like everybody's taking the power away from you. Everybody's taking your adult life away from you. On one level, I used to resent it.

I still get recognized. It's flattering, but it can be uncomfortable. Maybe because it only seems to happen when I'm looking and feeling crappy.

I knew I didn't want to put anything down in writing about the first time that I had sex. I knew that I didn't want to do that.

I think if I could do it over again - as much as I loved meeting the people I did on the films after 'Matilda' - I wish that I had stopped after 'Matilda.' I wish that I had just focused on my own life for a while.

I've always really loved stories told from the point of view of children.

I'm surprised by how much I remember.
