It's a little bit annoying, because it feels like everybody's taking the power away from you. Everybody's taking your adult life away from you. On one level, I used to resent it.

Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.

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.

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 consider my relationship with acting in Hollywood as sort of a mutual breakup. Through puberty, Hollywood didn't really want me anymore, and I was like, 'Yeah, I don't really want you, either.'

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.

If I were really really ridiculously wealthy, I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love.
