I don't think I really realized what being an adult and being a real grownup was until I was at least twenty-eight.

Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.

As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family.

I needed to grow up and do things all adults do. It was time to stop having everything spoon fed to me. It was about being independent.

At 16, I was more resilient and easygoing than I am now.

I had a lovely time growing up.

Growing up, I was not used to good things happening to me.

Just from being with my grandmother, my maturity escalated. And now I'm in tune to the needs of people. It was a large responsibility, taking care of a human being.

I had a wonderful childhood, which is tough because it's hard to adjust to a miserable adulthood.
