I had no real education because I was in and out of schools so I decided that I would completely change my look, change my image, change my name and move to New York.

I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.

I thought I would keep the first name Susan and change the last name but I picked up this book and as I opened it the lead character in it was called Morgan Brittany.

Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.

You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don't sell out for money, fame, or notoriety.

I feel bad about a lot of the movies I see that teach kids that if they do bad, they'll win.

You put yourself on the line as a performer, and when people reject you, it's a personal rejection.
