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

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.

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

I've played killers, crazies, and really bad people.

The highest grossing films have great, moral messages - not dirty, base themes, so we're trying to get producers to make more of the uplifting movies.

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