“I always thought I had a problem socially, because I was pulled out of...” — Ricky Schroder Quote

I always thought I had a problem socially, because I was pulled out of school so early. I had a tough time talking to other kids and being comfortable with them.

I weren't an actor, I'd be a wildlife biologist or forest ranger.

'Silver Spoons' was great memories - absolutely the best.

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.

Nashville feels like a big little town to me. It's got lots of culture and lots of interesting things to do and lots of interesting people. At the same time, it feels very small and tight-knit and very close. Everyone feels like they know each other.

Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.

What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.

Instead of being like the other kids going to soccer or football practice, I was wrestling every day.

What I remember most vividly was the sense of always being a little behind the other kids in class - that sense of I wasn't cut out for class or I wasn't cut out to read.
