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'm surprised by how much I remember [on childhood on film]. I think it's just because I had these interesting moments. Of course, you never know when they're interesting moments, but there was a lot of stuff that I remember and have attached significance to later. I remember enough. I remember highlights.

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

The celebrity aspect is nothing short of ridiculous, and auditioning is brutal and dehumanizing. Every time I see a pretty young girl on the subway reading sides for an audition, my only thought is, 'Man, am I glad I'm not doing that anymore.' I never feel nostalgia, just relief.

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

I've never considered myself cool, and I don't think I ever will be. Honestly, it's better that way. It's much less pressure.

My mother died when I was young, and I was filming all the time. I was all over the place. Acting was the one constant.
