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

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.

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.

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

Do not trust the person of spite; though you have loved and tamed them, the snake will bite.

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

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