When you grow up on camera and in the public eye, you feel you have to put forth this image. I just took that to the extreme and there was a lot of pressure on me.
When I started in WWE, I was a 24-year-old kid and it was all kind of a whirlwind. I never had the chance to step back and look at it from the outside and assess things from a different level.
In all honesty I think that I've had a very normal life, even though I've been making movies since I was 9.
There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.
I grew up on camera. I started at 16.
I am a Justin Bieber fan, but I am also so fascinated by how weird pop music can be and how manipulated it can be, so I enjoy thinking about that side of it too. I feel bad for him. I could never imagine growing up that way.
I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.
I think a lot of people who are child actors - it's a weird thing.
I think kid actors may grow up faster, with the responsibility of having to do school work, learn all lines.
I think we all have different ways with coming to terms with celebrity if you're raised within it. Everyone goes through it differently, and there's no one right answer.
Child actors going on to become adult actors never really works, apart from a few. Jodie Foster was the exception.
I'm sure no one really wants to think of themselves as a child actor.
It was no great tragedy being Judy Garland's daughter. I had tremendously interesting childhood years - except they had little to do with being a child.
We have seen many child actors who have gone astray. They were particular that 'Zakhm' was going to be my last film as a child actor and after that I took a six year break for education.
It's no new narrative to say that when people get out of child stardom, they oftentimes rebel in very serious ways.
Being a child star is great. It's being a former child star that sucks.
People are always asking me what it's like to be Judy Garland's daughter. It's hard to be a legend's child.
I was never famous as a kid. That's the biggest difference between me and any other kid actor is that I wasn't famous as a kid.
I grew up in the public eye from the age of 15 and it wasn't a choice I made, it just kind of got imposed on me because of who my dad is.
It's a difficult world for lots of child actors, and it's difficult to be a teenager under any circumstances. Add to that notoriety and fame, and things can go really wrong. But I had a terrific family and grew up very normal in Phoenix.
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 had the perfect level, growing up, between being normal and having a little taste into Hollywood. People would recognize me once in a while, but I could still go out and have my life.
Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition.
I really don't know anything else because my brothers were famous when I was two years old. So I know nothing else, no other life.
When you grow up with parents that are known worldwide and having so much attention from media and all of the tabloid magazines, it's really tough.
