I'm lucky that so many children visit my website. At least I get to talk with them that way.
It was a weird reaction to 'Batman Returns,' because half the people thought it was lighter than the first one, and half the people thought it was darker. I think the studio just thought it was too weird - they wanted to go with something more child- or family-friendly. In other words, they didn't want me to do another one.
Rather than making that a good project, I like to make the kinds of films that children can understand in five minutes what the film is about.
I never want to produce anything that a family could not enjoy together. I never want to create art that would embarrass my own children later.
If music ever needs FDA approval in the future, bands like this will be the reason why; Magic Kids' sugar-coated songs paint a mental picture of smiling clouds and double rainbows, with a unicorn or two tossed in for good measure.
I was lucky to get the kinds of parts I wanted. I always said I didn't want to do anything my kids can't see.
I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.
Actors, producers and directors have a responsibility. My personal pledge, since I became a mother 12 years ago, is that I won't be in any project my daughter can't watch. I'm trying to prepare her for the world.
I feel like I've got really good rapport with parents. They always say I'm a YouTuber they can feel safe just letting their kids watch.
Whatever film you do, even if it's a children's film, you do with the same amount of sincerity.
If you are writing children's books, you need to be a ruthless killer.
