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.

I'd rather be known for my accomplishments, and for things that I really do take pride in, rather than known for this doll-like image I had when I was a child.

People think I'm smarter than I am.

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.

David Sedaris wrote in one of his books that people like to make children into little grown-ups, which to him is about as funny as a dog in sunglasses.

Of course I didn't have a boyfriend then. I didn't even have a camp boyfriend then [at age of 13].

I can't take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby.
