I had so many adults around me reminding me that I was a kid. I also had a lot of adults saying things to me like, "When I was your age..." and sort of idealizing it. I didn't like that they idealized it.

I can't take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby.

I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.

I was very aware of being younger than everybody on set.

I guess I was a philosophical child.

You always worry that everybody is secretly talking about you behind your back, everybody is secretly making fun of your voice, your figure, the way that you are during puberty, but it turned out, in real life, everybody was. On movie sets, they were all talking about these things, because they had to.

Children change a lot in terms of personality. Camaraderie that you feel with somebody might not be there a year later.
