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

My mother had been a country and western singer but when she moved out to Hollywood found it very difficult to get work so when I was born they put me into dance classes and singing classes as soon as I could walk actually.

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

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

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

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