Any time you're a type, your career's over.

I got to grow up in a situation where drugs were demonic. To watch your dad go through heroin withdrawal is something that would keep you from doing any of that yourself.

I would like to be George Clooney - diplomatic. I just don't have the wherewithal yet or the inner serenity.

I don't have to live this lavish lifestyle.

Child actors become types. The cutesy type, the funny type, the dark type. Any time you're a type, your career's over. It's not been effortless for me; I've had bumps in the road, you know? I was in Dumb And Dumberer. It's not been a flawless thing so far. But all in all, I'm proud of it. Most proud of it because of the diversity. Because the genres are different.

I was planning on going to Yale to theater school.

I think there's a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it.
