It's never been bad or ridiculous. I know who I am and what I've done, and I'm really comfortable with myself.

With a lot of kids in the business, the parents get as twisted as they do, and there's a lot of opportunities to go their own way, but anyone has that opportunity.

I have no complaints with the whole childhood acting thing, because I wanted to do it.

My parents were involved in everything I did. They were showbiz people themselves. My dad was an actor. They were parents; they did what parents are supposed to do.

My publicist always said as long as they pronounce your name or spell your name right, it's all good.

A lot of times people's main motives and plan in life is to hurt as many people as they can, but I think there's enough good people that help make the world a good place.

I'm very proud of Family Ties. It's meant a lot to a lot of people.
