... which is nice.

So but growing up, you know, having done both soap operas, child star turned adult star of course, were there sacrifices that you have to make? Particularly as a child star, what kind of sacrifices did you have to make to pursue that career at a young age?
13:44
Um, well, I, yeah, I guess I did sacrifice a large part of my childhood in that I didn't go to normal school every day like a normal child, and I had a full-time job.
13:54
Like, it was an adult job and I was living in an adult world, and it's a very unnatural environment for a child to be in, especially a young child, 'cause you have to sit still for long periods of time, and you have to learn lines, and you have to follow directions.

Um, so in that sense, you know, I guess I sacrificed, but it didn't feel like a sacrifice because I had such a positive experience.
14:14
And I still went to my high school proms, I still went to regular high school w- on my days off, so, um, I feel like I got the best of both worlds.
14:21
Well, I'm glad you said you went to your high school prom.
