The only acting I knew when I was a boy came from Lochgelly. With a double bill, people would live their lives in the cinema. You would even see babies being breastfed in the audience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When my friends and I would act out movies as kids, we'd play the guys' roles, since they had the most interesting things to do. Decades later, I can hardly believe my sons and daughter are seeing many of the same limited choices in current films.
I enjoyed being in movies when I was a boy. As a child you're not acting - you believe.
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 think I knew acting was what I wanted to do. But I was from this small town and there was no place for an adult to recognise it.
I hate the stereotype of the pitfalls of the child actor. There are so many amazing examples - Natalie Portman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jodie Foster, Drew Barrymore - of people who have made it through.
Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible.
It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play.
Child actors going on to become adult actors never really works, apart from a few. Jodie Foster was the exception.
We always thought that we'd go on from the show to have a career in movies.
I don't think you have to be in these serious, heavy, independent little movies to be an actor. Some of the most interesting acting I've seen is on cable television.
