A lot of people recognize me or feel that they know me. A lot of times when I speak, they recognize my voice. It's fun, it's exciting. It's always good feedback.
A lot of times people's main motives and plan in life is to hurt as many people as they can, but I think there's enough good people that help make the world a good place.
Acting is definitely put at the back of my mind, if it's there at all right now. It's all entertainment.
As far as the media is concerned, I wouldn't shoot anything down.
Everyone for the most part is really nice. There have always been jokes, but that's part of being in the spotlight. You can't make everyone completely happy.
Everyone has a childhood, everyone had awkward years and weird stages. Mine were broadcast for eight years.
For other people in my position I'm very, Prove to me, show me why I should like you. I think it's human nature.
I am Tina Yothers and I'll never be anyone different.
I can't wait to see The Grinch. It's so out of the world. Every time a movie like that comes out, I'm stoked. It's like real life.
I couldn't be offended; that cartoon of me was a foot tall and three feet wide, because all of them are. It's all in fun.
I definitely don't have a sad story.
I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I don't need the fame right now; I'm not running from the law.
I dyed my hair, but it didn't work.
I got in touch with my agent and told him I wanted to start going out on things again.
I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.
I have no complaints with the whole childhood acting thing, because I wanted to do it.
I stopped acting because I had other passions I wanted to pursue.
I was 20 years old and felt I had a lot to offer, even to myself.
I wouldn't say necessarily that my life is as normal as the guy next door. There's a lot that goes along with being in the spotlight.
I'm very proud of Family Ties. It's meant a lot to a lot of people.
I've been in this business my whole life. I'm pretty bulletproof as far as being hurt.
It's definitely a struggle to prove yourself just as a good human being. I'm so proud of who I am and what I've become, the morals I have, and the people that I'm surrounded by.
It's never been bad or ridiculous. I know who I am and what I've done, and I'm really comfortable with myself.
My brother's been producing rap music and hip-hop for maybe 10 years.
My dad was a musician, and also my brother. It's always been in my family. We've always had instruments and made recordings.
My friend said that I was in a band and he was like, Oh cool, I'd love to be in a band. I love music and I love playing guitar.
My parents were involved in everything I did. They were showbiz people themselves. My dad was an actor. They were parents; they did what parents are supposed to do.
My publicist always said as long as they pronounce your name or spell your name right, it's all good.
People never cease to amaze me.
People will see me now and say how I've lost so much weight and look so beautiful now. No, I was just going through my weird years on television!
Someone like Russell Crowe is questioned for his passion for music, and whatever he does, music is just in his heart and soul. All he wants to do is music.
The music and everything we're doing on the stage and on television backs itself up. If that's what gets people's curiosity going or brings their attention to us, that's fine.
The people that watch or buy music or listen to TV, I don't think they separate the two as much as the people that are in charge of the production of it.
The whole musical experience has been so consuming and so fulfilling. I couldn't imagine doing anything that I enjoy more.
There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think, You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.
They did that little thing on South Park, and they mentioned my name and had a character of me judging a Halloween contest. It was really funny.That made me the coolest aunt on earth.
Things went in a direction that I didn't want to go. I started doing bit parts and things that are pretty much laid out for people in my position. The parts were pretty generic.
Whatever I'm doing, whatever comes along, this music is something that I've always wanted to do.
When entertainment was begun, during the Depression, it was supposed to take people's minds off reality. People could sing, dance, act or do anything. It was the type of entertainment that was available.
With a lot of kids in the business, the parents get as twisted as they do, and there's a lot of opportunities to go their own way, but anyone has that opportunity.
With the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true.
You can definitely become a victim and let people completely destroy your life.
You have to laugh, you have to be able to take criticism.
You just have to have the guidance to lead you in the direction until you can do it yourself.
