Being a celebrity can be very intoxicating and very addicting. And I've always been afraid of that, because I've grown up post-almost every child star out there who has gone wayward.

A lot of times what happens is, not even just with child actors, but people in general, is they get so caught up in the now. The hot song, the hot TV show, the hot movie. You're not saying 'OK, this is cool, but where am I trying to be 20 years from now?' That's always been in the forefront of my mind.

My perspective was always being on a number one show doesn't mean anything if I'm not still working consistently at 40 to 50 and 60 years old.

I've met men who have been married 19, 20 years, and all of a sudden the wife decides one day she needs to find herself.

The beautiful thing about theater is every night is an opportunity to incorporate what you discovered the night before.

Celebrity is intoxicating.
