People who grew up as child stars have the same thing in common. You're cute, they love you; you go through the awkward stage, they don't accept you any more. Very few make the transition to adult star.

I'm a strong person. I'm a warrior and I know what is inside of me.

I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There's a whole other world in books.

When people leave my show, I want them to say, 'I've never seen anything like that in my life ... It's amazing. He's the greatest entertainer in the world.'

Love and help all the children, all the days of your existence. They need us.

Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater.

I think my image gets distorted in the public's mind. They don't get a clear or full picture of what I'm like, despite the press coverage I mentioned early. Mistruths are printed as fact, in some cases, and frequently only half of a story will be told. The part that doesn't get printed is often the part that would make the printed part less sensational by shedding light on the facts.
