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.
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.
I watched 'My Girl' as an adult pretty recently, and it's a good movie.
A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.
It was easy for me to leave acting for school, because I wasn't really in it as an adolescent for fulfilling reasons.
Supposedly I haven't changed.
In order to satirize adequately, I think you need to bring people down to Earth and be like, 'Yeah, these people drink coffee and have tummy troubles and they go to the bathroom like anybody else, and they all have relationship problems, if they even have relationships.
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.
I was an international studies major.
I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole, but I don't watch politics for sport.
Show business got really tainted for me.
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.
