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.

Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for 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.

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

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

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