It's easier to see children as mini adults than it is to imagine or to remember what it is to be a child again.

I don't have any plans to pursue film acting. It's not my thing anymore, if it ever was. Yes, I do still act sometimes. But when I do, it's with people I know and trust, people who respect me as a person and appreciate what I have to offer.

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.

Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].

For me [being a kid actor], it's a bit like when you see your mom's friends, and they're like, "I remember when you were this big. You'll always be that cute little kid to me." It's like that times a thousand. Well, times a couple thousand.

I was such a nerd. It just wasn't something I would have wanted. And I didn't want to act like an adult.
