I grew up in an entertainment family, and so I saw how susceptible you are to the ups and downs of this business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
With any entertainment business, you sort of have to be OK with just going with it. I've learned very much to just go with the flow and see what happens with my life, and what happens happens.

A lot of people in this business are born with money or family connections.
Since I'm in the entertainment business, I think I have to hold a mirror up to myself and say, 'Am I complicit in miseducating and misinforming our youth by participating in this business, or can I use this business to re-educate and uplift?'
At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work.

The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.
I enjoy being part of the entertainment industry, although I'm the laziest person that I've met yet in this business.
See, I'm fortunate that I get around a lot because of my movie business.
This is a tough business for anyone, especially if you start out young. I feel really lucky about the way things have turned out.
