Children who play regularly with their peers are most likely to achieve the highest levels of adjustment as adults.

Once upon a time, soft toys were for babies. Now they're taken for granted as a feature of adult life.

The main point for me is that toys are incredibly more important than we realized.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing, but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.
