Yeah, I've had an odd youth, But I wouldn't know the difference if I'd lived it any other way. And I wouldn't change any of it because I quite like what I'm doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a teenager, I thought nothing would ever happen to me because my childhood was so normal. I had this complex of normality.
I am in an adolescence in reverse, as mysterious as the first, except that this time I feel it as a decay of the odds that I might live for a while, that I can sleep it off.
Once I turned 40, my whole life changed in the most mature - not boring way but much cooler way. I feel much more like an adult.
I'm not that old, and I haven't lived a life so far from the ordinary, really.
Most people are fascinated by what I did as a teenager, but when I look back at my life, I don't think very much about those years. I was an opportunist and got away with things because I was very young, but I went to prison and came out and remade my life.
In a lot of ways, I wasn't a normal teenager.
I just feel very often like a child in an absolutely weird world. I think that life is quite weird sometimes.
I was entirely natural and in many ways I have the same attitude now. I don't mourn the loss of my youth because I believe you should enjoy what you have while you have it.
I always wondered what it would be like to have a normal childhood.
My 20s were a completely and utterly different time in my life.
