One in four kids in the U.S. faces hunger.
There's a bit of the kid in me.
She was this incredible mom. With each of her kids, she did something called `time,' where she would spend an hour each day doing whatever the kid wanted to do, whether it was play spacemen or `Let's go into your makeup, and I'll make you up like a clown.' And as a teenager you'd be like, `Rub me, Mom. Give me a massage.'
You know, it's kind of a shame in a way but the more seasoned directors a lot of times have more difficult getting a job than first time guys. New kid on the block kind of thing.
I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.
Yeah I loved, as a kid growing up, I loved science-fiction.
One thing I want to do is create something called Ring Around Congress. It would be a state deal and also a national thing, where the kids, as a field trip, will go and join hands around Congress and give the politicians report cards on how they're voting on hunger issues.
I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do.
Like most kids, you don't want to do what your folks want you to do. You've got your own thing.
You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can't fully realize it until you have children yourself.
During my early years, I thought I might be a musician. Like most kids, I didn't do what my parents wanted me to do. They were gung-ho that all their kids become actors. They loved showbiz so much. I am a product of nepotism, basically.
I used to read comics when I was a kid.
Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.
I'm a chairperson for 'No Kid Hungry', a campaign for poor American children.
