I never dreamed that shooting a film would be so hard. There was less regulation then of child actors' hours. Even the concept of acting confused me. ↗

I can't say I was unhappy as a child actor in films. I had a particularly wonderful time. ↗

I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way, that was my saving grace - not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded. ↗

It's difficult being a child actor. I don't think everything beautiful has to be exploited. Some things can be beautiful and left beautiful. ↗

Dakota Fanning is a child, but she is a wonderful actor. I don't know what a child actor is. She's an actor who's a child. ↗

The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time. ↗

Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition. ↗

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. ↗
