I had a very famous trainer tell me once 'You can usually train a wild animal but never tame a wild animal ever.' They are always going to be wild no matter what anybody says.
I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way that was my saving grace - not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded.
I've never been more famous than I was suddenly in 1986.
Some people with blogs are never going to get famous and they've been doing it for like over a year. I feel bad for them.
I never thought about being famous.
I don't care how famous a guitarist is he ain't learned everything. There's always somewhere to go something to mash up but he ain't found it yet. You never learn everything on that guitar neck.
I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.
I'm learning as I go. I don't know everything. I never had anybody to look at nobody ever taught me and where I'm from I didn't have any famous role models.
I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph. The comedian blew him off. I'll never forget the look on the young boy's face. He was devastated.
My philosophy was if I just do good work someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way way too old now mate. That boat's sailed.
