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.

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.

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.

I've been in this business my whole life. I'm pretty bulletproof as far as being hurt.

You just have to have the guidance to lead you in the direction until you can do it yourself.

I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

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.

You have to laugh, you have to be able to take criticism.

I have no complaints with the whole childhood acting thing, because I wanted to do it.

Everyone has a childhood, everyone had awkward years and weird stages. Mine were broadcast for eight years.

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.

Sometimes I'm in a mood like a Maths problem such as "If you have 4 pencils and 7 apples, how many pancakes will fit on the roof? Purple, because aliens don't wear hats".

The principle of tolerance and respect for freedom promoted by the reforms of the Second Vatican Council are today being manipulated and erroneously taken too far.

Putin has had many positive experiences working with Western political leaders whose business interests made them more disposed to deal with Russia.

We must get over wanting to be needed-this is the hardest of all temptations to resist

I love myself enough-not in a schmaltzy garbage sense, Hallmark stuff, I'm talking respect myself-I respect my life-force enough to no longer waste it.

My strength is character. I'm pretty good at building walking-talking humans with brains like beehives.

If they want to win right now, I'm all for it. That's all I said the whole time. If you want to wait five years, let me know. My legs aren't as young as they used to be.

When I'm back at home it's just reality. I kind of separate myself from Hollywood.

I may as well tell you, here and now, that if you are going about the place thinking things pretty, you will never make a modern poet. Be poignant, man, be poignant!

Success has many fathers, failure many sons.
