It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To a certain extent I suppose all actors are big kids.
Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible.
Children are often better actors than adults because they have a greater capacity for believing in a situation.
I think some of the best actors ever were little kids.
Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they're 15 they can play 11 or when they're 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn't have.
When child actors act well they're just reacting to situations, and they're acting very real because their life experience is so short; there's no history to fall back on.
I'm sure it's not great fun for them, or for any parent, when their child says they want to be an actor, 'cos it's quite an uncertain business and it can be terribly hard for most actors.
I think kids are natural actors. You watch most kids; if they don't have a toy, they'll pick up a stick and make a toy out of it. Kids will daydream all the time.
A lot of child actors keep acting for the wrong reasons.
All children are natural actors, and I'm still a kid. If you grow up completely, you can never be an actor.
