I'm Just Selfish. I Have To Be

If You're Trying To Learn How To Act From A Class, You're Analyzing The Teachers' Movements And Their Intricacies, And It Becomes Like A Pantomime Of You Wanting To Be Them, And That's Wrong.

Child Actors Become Types. The Cutesy Type, The Funny Type, The Dark Type. Any Time You're A Type, Your Career's Over. It's Not Been Effortless For Me; I've Had Bumps In The Road, You Know?

It's A Really Good Crowd And I Feel I'm Coming Up At A Good Time. But Equally, There's A Lot Of Good Young Actors Who Don't Get To Work Who Are More Talented Than I. I'm Just Lucky.
