Everything is a rejection of you, not your product, or your script, or a cosmetic. It's you.

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

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.

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.

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

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