I said, to hell with the whole thing, to hell with show business. I'm gonna make a new life for myself, and I got off drugs, completely kicked all that stuff

I want to be remembered for Swiss Family Robinson and Old Yeller. I think Swiss is probably my favorite film

After I was fired from Disney, I did some of the worst movies ever made...

Disney was a family film studio and I was supposed to be their young, leading man. After they found out I was involved with some guy, that was the end of Disney.

I consider my teenage years as being desperately unhappy.

When I was about 17 or 18, I finally admitted to myself that I wasn't going to change. I didn't know what the consequences would be, but I had the definite feeling that it was going to wreck my Disney career
