The idea that a child doesn't have the opportunity to be a child is devastating.
I have a big family and no one ever treated me like a child. They always treated me like an adult, like an equal.
I never really thought about acting as a child. It wasn't like, "This is the career that I want to pursue." So when I first started acting, I was more concerned with just being on a set and all of the woes of that, and I didn't really know it or understand it as a craft yet.
