Acting kind of pays my bills more than music does.

An agent saw one of the plays I did at ACT, but my mom was like, No, she's too young. I became so annoying that a year and a half later she just couldn't stand hearing me any more!

I didn't go to a normal high school. It was for people in the performing arts.

On my show, I'm definitely the youngest one. So going from a show where everyone is over 30, to the movie, where everyone was like 20, 25, it was like summer camp.

We went down for pilot season, I got Full House, and we wound up never leaving.

I was in seventh grade, and getting a part in Full House was huge. It opened so many doors for me.

At the time, the only options were playing the local county fair. Now with American Idol and younger recording artists that have come out, there is more of an opportunity.
