When entertainment was begun, during the Depression, it was supposed to take people's minds off reality. People could sing, dance, act or do anything. It was the type of entertainment that was available.

There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.

Everyone has a childhood, everyone had awkward years and weird stages. Mine were broadcast for eight years.

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

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.

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

The music and everything we're doing on the stage and on television backs itself up. If that's what gets people's curiosity going or brings their attention to us, that's fine.
