The only time in my career prior to that I played an evil character was in 'The Twilight Zone'.

At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work.

I lost agents and managers because I turned down big movies that were smutty.

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

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

Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.

Do not trust the person of spite; though you have loved and tamed them, the snake will bite.
