Actress Chloe Moretz, who has a clean image for a teenager in the industry yet, wants to keep it like that and hopes to avoid becoming the next child star gone bad.
"I'm, like, incredibly straight-laced, considering what some 16-year-olds are doing. This business is not peaches and cream, and I've fought tooth and nail to earn this spot. I'm not a girl who's ridden on a last name or lucked into it from getting on one project that blows up.
"I worked for 11 years, and I have to keep working, too, because if I sat back on my haunches right now, I could disappear within a month," she said.
The actress, whose impressive resume includes roles in "500 Days of Summer", "Hugo" and "Dark Shadows", insists that she's a normal teen who's no different from her friends, reported Us magazine.
Moretz realizes that many aspects of her career would lead people to think otherwise.
"On the other hand, I have to portray that glamorous image of, like, Dior Couture! Chanel! Prada! That's a character. It's 'the star,' not 'the girl.' So in my brand, it's all in one package. That's just what you have to do.
