I pray every night. I just talk to God and I can go to sleep. I don’t worry anymore.
The big difference with the recognition is that when I go on an audition, I don’t feel like they’re testing my abilities as much as they’re just seeing if it’s a fit. So that’s nice.
I watched ‘My Girl’ as an adult pretty recently, and it’s a good movie.
Supposedly I haven’t changed.
Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they’re very bright. But there’s a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy.
People look to you to replace a part in their lives that they can’t get back. You can’t get the past back, you can’t do it. We’ve all tried.
People have good and bad days.
Kids are truthful by nature.
It was more like having unwanted attention as a child – if you’d walk around, people would recognize you, and it would be in a weird, almost making-fun-type manner.
I was an international studies major.
First, I was a fact checker for Zagat and then I was an editorial assistant for HarperCollins publishing house.
You can ask any set decorator on any set where I’ve had to be in an office, I always kind of claim it – I put Post-its everywhere, and I kind of make it look lived-in.
A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.
Even on the worst days I am without a doubt still happier doing this than I am doing anything else. On acting.
I don’t have a Twitter account.
I guess it’s nice to know I still resonate in people’s minds.
I had no idea of the size of my bank account as a teen, and I didn’t care to know. That was my mom’s job, I figured that I would just find out when I turned 18. If you can’t trust your mom, then who can you trust?
Right now I’m just thinking about school and trying to get those grades and keep them up! In case I become a Norma Desmond when I grow up, I can have something to fall back on!
I don’t let it bother me too much if someone doesn’t like me. I just figure there’s no accounting for taste. It’s not me, it’s my acting. It’s like if someone doesn’t like someone’s food, they just don’t like my acting.
When I graduated from college I thought I was over with show business and was pursuing other things.
Some people are really good at their jobs, some people are really bad.
