Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Don't get too set on becoming an actor at an early age. I think that's where some people get into trouble. Acting becomes their life. I don't want that.
To be an actor you have to be a child.
The thing about being an actor is that you're in the business of not growing up.
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
Actors often behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.
The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time.
Acting engenders and harbours qualities that are best left way behind in adolescence.
Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition.
Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.
All children are natural actors, and I'm still a kid. If you grow up completely, you can never be an actor.
