People still recognize me all the time on the street. The first thing they say when they stop me is, "Where have you been?" The second comment they make is always, "Oh, you've grown up."
After seeing 'Big,' I wanted an elevator that opened directly into my apartment, just like Tom Hanks did.
Michael Jackson and I talk all the time. I think we understand each other in a way that most people can't understand either of us.
I do have a family, and I do have friends, and so-called friends, and acquaintances, and many other people I see only around Christmas time. Maybe they could vouch for me. Maybe they could testify to my existence and save a part of me that thinks I'm no better than a bag of potato chips.
I'd made enough made money by the time I was 12 to never work again, so it's not about a big pay check with me.
All the child-star clichés. I've tried very hard to avoid them all.
I did a radio interview for a station in Connecticut or something, and it was the worst interview ever. It was all yes and no answers.
I'm not expecting the American literary community to welcome me with open arms. To them I'm just some schmuck kid who wrote some book.
I could have gone the route of a lot of these former child actors, but I didn't want that for myself. Like I said, when I was 14 years old, I decided to quit. I didn't ever want to do it again.
I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.
Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.
A lot of people meet me and they're like, 'Why aren't you crazy?'
Gosh, I couldn't even talk right until I was about 6 years old or something like that.
I felt like I had two fathers. I had my real father and the father in my head.
I went to high school, which was a good thing because I hadn't interacted with many people my age, and I didn't really have friends. I had a million acquaintances and no friends.
I'm the most out-of-work actor I know. In the last two years I've basically taken meetings for a living.
I've always said that acting found me. I didn't really find it.
I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.
It's a place where I could do something on a weekly basis and see if I like it.
