You just have to have the guidance to lead you in the direction until you can do it yourself.

Acting is definitely put at the back of my mind, if it's there at all right now. It's all entertainment.

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 the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true.

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.

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.

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