With the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true.
There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.
The people that watch or buy music or listen to TV, I don't think they separate the two as much as the people that are in charge of the production of it.
A lot of times people's main motives and plan in life is to hurt as many people as they can, but I think there's enough good people that help make the world a good place.
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.
