Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, "No, I just want to be an actor."

Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow.

Be honest. Be kind. Be honorable. Work hard. And always be awesome.

I don’t know what the future of my career holds, but I know that whatever is over the horizon, the road I’ve traveled to get here is like those Interstates in Texas: everything can look the same, and it can feel like you’re not going anywhere, until you suddenly get where you’re going and realize that you’ve been traveling for a long time.

When you say a 'former child star,' you may as well say 'failed child star.

I like to quote things.

It’s not about what you said. It’s not about what you did. It’s not about what you love. It’s about them feeling bad about themselves.
