“Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they're 15 they can play 11 or when they're 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn't have.” LooksChildrenLongPlayKidsYoungActorsAbilityChild Actors Author:Cynthia Nixon
“People were being so mean as a result of my ability - a gift, really. So I think that's what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists.

No money, not knowing where the next meal was coming from. No sex, no relationships, people that didn't love me, didn't care about me, to where I am today... that's successful.

“Living with very limited expectations is a much more immediate way of living. You really do just make the best of everything you have.

“All kids draw and write poetry and everything, and some of us last until we're about eighteen, but most drop off at about twelve when some guy comes up and says, "You're no good." That's all we get told all our lives. "You haven't got the ability. You're a cobbler." It happened to all of us, but if somebody had told me all my life, "Yeah, you're a great artist," I would have been a more secure person.” IfsWritingPersonsHas BeensDifferentKidsLastsArtistGuyAbilityOur LivesHappenedHavensDrawsYeahCome UpSecureTwelveGreat ArtEighteenBeing DifferentGreat ArtistCobblers Author:John Lennon
