I was a child actor. I was this spaz kid diagnosed with ADHD, and I worked all the time.
Once I have children, the kids come first. One thing at a time for me.
What happens when you're a child professional is that you have to be, well, professional. You're taught not to have tantrums, to always people-please.
As far as female vocalists, I love Heart, Joan Jett, Courtney Love, Laura Branigan, Linda Ronstadt, Barbra Streisand - or going back to when I was a child, Aileen Quinn, the original Annie.
