I weren't an actor, I'd be a wildlife biologist or forest ranger.

It's difficult being a child actor. I don't think everything beautiful has to be exploited. Some things can be beautiful and left beautiful.

I have a career I am proud of as a child actor. I'm not running away from it or embarassed with anything I did.

My daughter's wanted to be an actress since she was six years old, but I didn't want her to go through the same experiences as I did as a child actor.

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.

My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.
