People are hungry for messages of hope and life. What are you broadcasting?

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.

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

You've got to hang on to who you are, what you are. Don't let anyone take it from you.

I can meet any producer in Hollywood and look them in the eye, knowing I didn't sleep with them, or do drugs with them.

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

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