I remember feeling enormous pressure because I didn't want to be Shirley Temple. Shirley Temple was Shirley Temple, and I didn't ever feel like I could live up to that.

If I were really really ridiculously wealthy, I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love.

Puberty was definitely difficult for me.

I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first.

I can't take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby.

Considering all the legal hassle child stars can be, I won't be surprised when they are phased out by CGI children voiced by adult actors.

Very sad, very upset, very glad I did not have to hear about this though Twitter. Probably going to be taking some time off it for a while.

If you can affect someone when they're young, you are in their heart forever.

People will never get in touch with democracy. It's always surrounded by bodyguards.

Marriage is tough. I can tell my wife all day long that I love her, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't show that.

Faith lives in honest doubt.

It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.

We should never insult others on account of their faults, for it is our duty to show charity and respect to everyone.

Now, most people who suffer realize that the Bible contains answers for their plight; they just don't know where to look.

Faithfulness to your husband means sticking up for him, always building him up and never tearing him down.

A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.

He's the real deal. Eric Taylor was one of my heroes and teachers when I started playing around Houston in the early 1970s.
