You always worry that everybody is secretly talking about you behind your back, everybody is secretly making fun of your voice, your figure, the way that you are during puberty, but it turned out, in real life, everybody was. On movie sets, they were all talking about these things, because they had to.

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

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.

People like to make children into little grown-ups.

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.

Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.

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.
