People who meet me as an adult are often surprised that I'm alive and have never been in prison or rehab. Sometimes they're disappointed I'm not cooler.

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.

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

If you can affect someone when they're young, you are in their heart forever.

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

Very sad, very upset, very glad I did not have to hear about this though Twitter. Probably going to be taking some time off it for a while.

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.
