Cole Sprouse On How He Dealt with Pain

I don't wear victimhood on my shoulder. I don't like to act like I am my wounds and repeatedly be reminded of my wounds. What happened in my youth carved me and forged me into the person I am today for better—purely better. We trade trauma for wisdom. When we go through heavy experiences, it deepens our eyes."

Grace Van Dien, The Dark Side of Hollywood

How many actors and actresses actually do sacrifice their morals and ethics? How many have to sell their soul in exchange for fame and money, but the fine print comes at a cost? Maybe those "has-beens" or the "one-hit-wonders" did read the fine print, and they walked away proudly, knowing that they would never sacrifice their honor, pride, and morals over money and fame. On the latter, of course, I am speculating. But the more these stories come out, you never know.
