I know plenty of Hollywood kids who still struggle with being whole. Their lives are never fully their own - always in the grip of a parent who put celebrity ahead of them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star.
Not many child stars make it out of Hollywood alive or sane, and at any given time there are at least three former ones having very public breakdowns.
Being a celebrity, you can remain a child for ever, almost. You get away with more; you can get too pampered and it's not healthy.
People are always saying that Hollywood messes up kids. I'm like, 'No, families mess up kids!' I grew up in Hollywood, and I'm perfectly fine. If my children want to go into the entertainment business, I won't stop them, as long as they're passionate about it.
I think anybody who's famous has to deal with their fame in their own way, and I dealt with it by making a film about a kid who's looking out into the world of celebrity obsession.
As for Hollywood children, their social life can get a little overboard, just like their parents can. Living in town, you attend so many functions.
Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.
I feel for anybody who has that level of celebrity where you can't lead a normal life.
Even a modicum of celebrity is hard to deal with. You see it with actors and directors all the time.
Our perception of celebrities in Hollywood is not the reality. The reality of our lives is so much like everyone else's life. We have family members we love, everyone gets up in the morning, they have three meals a day and they go about their business.
