Things went in a direction that I didn't want to go. I started doing bit parts and things that are pretty much laid out for people in my position. The parts were pretty generic.
People will see me now and say how I've lost so much weight and look so beautiful now. No, I was just going through my weird years on television!
I wouldn't say necessarily that my life is as normal as the guy next door. There's a lot that goes along with being in the spotlight.
People never cease to amaze me.
I was 20 years old and felt I had a lot to offer, even to myself.
I'm very proud of Family Ties. It's meant a lot to a lot of people.
I have no complaints with the whole childhood acting thing, because I wanted to do it.
It's definitely a struggle to prove yourself just as a good human being. I'm so proud of who I am and what I've become, the morals I have, and the people that I'm surrounded by.
I've been in this business my whole life. I'm pretty bulletproof as far as being hurt.
When entertainment was begun, during the Depression, it was supposed to take people's minds off reality. People could sing, dance, act or do anything. It was the type of entertainment that was available.
I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.
Acting is definitely put at the back of my mind, if it's there at all right now. It's all entertainment.
A lot of people recognize me or feel that they know me. A lot of times when I speak, they recognize my voice. It's fun, it's exciting. It's always good feedback.
My parents were involved in everything I did. They were showbiz people themselves. My dad was an actor. They were parents; they did what parents are supposed to do.
