Quote 1) “…she doesn’t seem to care TOO much what Miley Cyrus does….”

Quote 2) …the girls “are really smart…and in others, not so much!”

Her kids are cute and I’m not bashing Ms. Mann except to point out that she’s very defensive. And it’s obvious that if the kids have acting credits, there must be some idea of the hope or possibility of pursuing that course. It’s obvious. What’s not obvious is why she is so defensive or indeed why you are. I’m not aware of a lot of criticism of Ms. Mann that would prompt such defensiveness. Someone should tell her, though, that it’s not an attractive quality. I was attempting to do so as gently as possible.

She said they are smart and act, but it isn’t already set in stone that they will be in the entertainment industry. For a lot of child actors or children of people in the industry, it seems as though it is expected that they will enter as well, or the children themselves expect to be entertainers.

I think it’s great that the girls seem to know they have their options open. And even though they live in Los Angeles, and have been in movies, they do not have one-track minds. Based solely on this interview of course, but that is the impression I am getting.
