Paper Moon didn't bring me love.

I've overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.

I never dreamed that shooting a film would be so hard. There was less regulation then of child actors' hours. Even the concept of acting confused me.

I was punished for blowing the whistle on my father's lifestyle.

The more love I craved, the more distant and abusive he grew. The role I longed to play was never written into Ryan's script: daughter.

I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

When someone was hitting me, or like sexually molesting me, it just seemed normal to continue to do that to myself.

Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.

I've triumphed over addiction.

I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.

Griffin, my brother, 11 months younger, was sometimes the victim of my father's fury - once Ryan famously knocked out his teeth.

Somewhere, somebody is looking for someone exactly like you.

Success becomes evident when the principles that bring about success are obeyed!

I am a bit obsessive about tidiness. I need to make my bed in the morning and leave it perfectly made up.

Even though New York may be a more inspiring city, I get more inspired thinking of L.A., in a way. My life there was so much more simple in mind, and quiet.

Take part. Contribute. Be interested in everything and everybody.

There are three things I commit to on a daily basis: Exercising for an hour a day, tops. Never skipping meals. And accepting the size and shape I was born with.

You blindfold yourself and spin around for 10 times and then open your eyes and try to chase it down.

I don't understand why everyone has to wear black, grey and white.

I was still thought of as a kid actor even though I was in my mid twenties.
