Cole Sprouse

When you're a child, and you're growing up, and you're mimicking a certain character, or you're trying to live and breathe a certain character on set for eight years that are also your formative years, you oftentimes take a lot of who you're playing into your real life and kind of become that thing.

I think the teenage sides of myself have informed my adult self.

I became obsessed with the storytelling of photography and going on little adventures.

I just survived a Disney career without singing. I don't want to, like, fall back in. I feel like I escaped, so if we could avoid it for as long as possible, that would be great.

I don't regret anything about my younger career, mainly because we were children and didn't have too much power, but also because it gave us the privilege to be where we are now.

Going to college made me realize you have to have real spaces of privacy, and you have to establish those early.

I was sad and in a dark place, and I turned to a hobby to sort of take me out of that.

My grandpa was a geologist, and I always had this fascination with not only earth sciences but ancient history.

I took a break from acting for a little bit, came back, and didn't know how it was going to be, but I had so much fun. I really had, like, a reinvention, a renewal.

I remember, my very first day at a new school, a bird pooped all down my back. It was like any other day of school except everyone was like, 'Oh my God, you're from the movie 'Big Daddy,'' and I had bird poop all over me.

Because 'Friends' is on Netflix, there's a renewed interest from that... People can call me 'Ben' on the street, and I will turn around.

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.
