I had really wanted adventure. At the time that I ran away, lots of kids ran away from home. It was something of a social phenomenon.

I'm still a kid inside, and adventure is adventure wherever you find it.

I went to Alaska as a young man just looking for adventure. And like so many of us in the '70s, we found it.

For about two years, I was a little wild. I was out partying, having adventures.

For all practical purposes I left home when I was 7.

I was an only child until I was 14, and there were no other kids around the area really. So I spent a lot of time on my own in the fields or by the lake, with just my imagination for company. I suppose I never wanted to let that part of me go.

I never really had the fun teens of exploring the world because I was sitting at home, learning programming.

I started when I was 15 years old. And at that time, I was not thinking about changing the world, I was doing graffiti - writing my name everywhere, using the city as a canvas. I was going in the tunnels of Paris, on the rooftops with my friends. Each trip was an excursion, was an adventure.

When I was eight years old I went to visit my brother who was working on a movie of the week with my mother and I saw how much fun he was having and I decided I wanted to try it too.
