I suppose 'Worried About the Boy' was a brave choice, but only in the sense that if I didn't get it right, my career would be over before it had begun.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Of course the success of A Boy's Own Story took me utterly off guard.
I was never into the boy crazy thing because I was very focused on my career.
I was not a particularly brave child, I think, because I had a narrative mind, because my mind automatically went to any terrible thing that could happen.
I should have worried about taking responsibilities for which I was not ready.
I was definitely an at-risk kid growing up.
I think I was a bit frightened of having to be a grownup and tried to put that off for as long as I could.
I was not considered a kid that would be successful in my career.
Somewhere in my wildest childhood I must have done something right. Being able to make a boyhood dream come true is one thing, but to have a kid come along and thrill his dad like Brett Hull has thrilled me over his career is too much for one guy to handle.
I was not a very fearful kid, really.
I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me.
