There are always moments of despair when you get close to jobs and lose them at the last second. It feels like getting punched in the stomach. You feel like, 'Why do I do this?' Then you go to bed, get up the next day and forget about it.

I didn't choose 'Silver Spoons'. I think my mom and agent chose it because at that time there was a lack of patience on some of the people that were in charge of my career. I think there was a big offer on the table, and I think they took it.

I didn't take the reins of my career until I was about 21, and I've been in charge since then.

I have a career I am proud of as a child actor. I'm not running away from it or embarassed with anything I did.
