My life has never been wonderful. Maybe when I was a child, but not after age 15.

It's all in how you look at your life, because no one has a wonderful life. But you can make it what you want it to be.

I started with the Target Company in 1993 when their Christmas theme that year was 'It's A Wonderful Life,' and they reunited the actors who played the Bailey kids. So we went all over and really had a blast getting the love from all of the fans and thought, 'Whoopty-doo, there's something going on here.'

I never wanted to return to Hollywood because Hollywood people and the fakeness - very artificial and not dear to my heart. After I lived in the Midwest, and I learned what sincere, real people were all about, I never wanted to go back.

Life continues to be difficult. It always will be because that's just life. But I am so glad I have put some happiness into the world.

I never saw movies I was in because my mom told me that would be prideful, being stuck on yourself.
