I didn't want to be a former child actor for the rest of my life, although in some ways I suppose I am. I am going to be that.

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

I guess I was a philosophical child.

I think I might like to try film again just as an experiment, but I know that I could never do the mainstream thing again.

Children change a lot in terms of personality. Camaraderie that you feel with somebody might not be there a year later. That group might not have the same chemistry. So I completely understand why they're rushing into it, because they probably feel like they have to.

The thing is, with writing, it's form or content. You need to write about something interesting or you need to write about it in an interesting way.

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.
