I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
It was a weird reaction to 'Batman Returns,' because half the people thought it was lighter than the first one, and half the people thought it was darker. I think the studio just thought it was too weird - they wanted to go with something more child- or family-friendly. In other words, they didn't want me to do another one.
Rather than making that a good project, I like to make the kinds of films that children can understand in five minutes what the film is about.
I never want to produce anything that a family could not enjoy together. I never want to create art that would embarrass my own children later.
If music ever needs FDA approval in the future, bands like this will be the reason why; Magic Kids' sugar-coated songs paint a mental picture of smiling clouds and double rainbows, with a unicorn or two tossed in for good measure.
I was lucky to get the kinds of parts I wanted. I always said I didn't want to do anything my kids can't see.
I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.
I feel like I've got really good rapport with parents. They always say I'm a YouTuber they can feel safe just letting their kids watch.
Actors, producers and directors have a responsibility. My personal pledge, since I became a mother 12 years ago, is that I won't be in any project my daughter can't watch. I'm trying to prepare her for the world.
Whatever film you do, even if it's a children's film, you do with the same amount of sincerity.
If you are writing children's books, you need to be a ruthless killer.
