People view child actors the same way that girls treat their Barbie dolls.

The best times I had on film sets were the times the director let me express myself, but those were rare.

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

It is strange to have everybody in the world still think of you as a child.

I thought I started acting at 5 or 6, it was really when they were interviewing real families for a toothpaste commercial. They interviewed our family.

Danny DeVito later told me that he knew he wanted me for 'Matilda' the second I walked in the door. I'm not sure if this is true, or if he was just being nice, but I was thrilled when I got it.

I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted.
