Ione Skye, the 18-year-old actress currently starring in “Say Anything,” says she is thankful she has found a career at such an early age. “Knowing what you want to do at a young age is great, and being able to do it while you’re in your teens is even better. Most kids my age are wondering what they’re going to do in life, so it’s a relief for me.
