I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.

I felt like I had to be conscious of myself as a girl for the first time. I had to be more feminine. I had to look a certain way. And it's something that you want to suffer in silence, but I would go onto movie sets and they would bring out bras that were basically binders, because there were continuity problems between months.

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

Considering all the legal hassle child stars can be, I won't be surprised when they are phased out by CGI children voiced by adult actors.

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.

I'm originally from southern California, so I, like, say 'like', like, a lot. I've been trying to scrub any traces of Valley Girl from my speech since I moved to New York, but it's, like, totally way harder than anyone thinks, you know?
