I have a career I am proud of as a child actor. I'm not running away from it or embarassed with anything I did.

My sympathies go out to the young performers today because they are under a microscope in a way I wasn't. Now everybody's got a camera phone and can record at will or take pictures of you. It's just a different world. I don't know how I would have fared back then.

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.

I met the Queen, the Pope, and we went all over Europe and Asia. I just wish I was older when I did all this. Then I could appreciate it more.

I didn't grow up around wild horses, no. But I've appreciated their beauty and their power ever since I can remember.

I know when an actor is giving it his/her all and when they're just phoning it in.

My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.
