Growing up it was the exception because I was maybe the only one in my school or my circle of friends that had that experience. But now that I know more people in the industry, I am realizing this happens to almost everybody.
Whenever people are excited about 'My Girl', I always think if I met the kids from 'The Neverending Story.' I would probably be the same way.
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.
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 guess it's nice to know I still resonate in people's minds.
Some people are really good at their jobs, some people are really bad.
I only surround myself with people who are intellectually stimulating.
From the very start of all of this, my mom has read the scripts first. And if she liked something, she let me read it. She told our agent what kinds of parts that we would want.
Yeah, there was a six-year period where I was pretty much done with show business. During college and then for about two years after college.
When you're a child, no matter if you're doing show business or sports or school or anything, you just want to make the adults happy.
It's kind of weird because in the pictures and stuff they fill in some stuff that they don't like, like your teeth. It's funny when you first see the poster and you want to pick out the stuff that's different, but you get used to it after a while. It's just, oh, that's me! It's kind of cool after a while.
I watched 'My Girl' as an adult pretty recently, and it's a good movie.
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.
