As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are some kids I grew up with whose parents are in the industry, but my friends that I hang out with day-to-day aren't Hollywood.
Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.
Most of the stories I read are about my Hollywood pedigree.
People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing, but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.
My father and Mary Pickford were the reigning stars of not just Hollywood but of the world. Well, to bear my father's name was hard enough, but to work in pictures to boot was pretty foolhardy. In fact, my father was totally against it. He thought I should be off getting a good education and go into some safe profession.
I'm a very private person, a very bookish person. The social world of Hollywood I know nothing about because I choose not to take part.
My own mum cared about Hollywood, and I didn't. I wanted to act, and I loved the creativity of it, but I didn't care for the lifestyle.
My parents and my brothers and their wives are incredible and formed me as a person long before I got to Hollywood.
Hollywood is all made up, anyway. Especially the stories and angles that people want to pin on you.
I've had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general, I've found that when it comes to getting jobs, what's meant for you can't pass you by.
