My folks were drunks, and I had a rough childhood - really rough - in fact, rougher than I thought about.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a very rough and tumultuous childhood.
My life was pretty rough.
I've always been a rough kid.
The sky was falling down on me and I spent most of the time drunk. It was the only way I could handle it.
I had a very difficult childhood. I was surrounded by people who had both parents, which made me feel different. Having a bit of a rougher existence early on, it made me appreciate the work ethic that my grandparents instilled in me.
Getting sober was one of the three pivotal events in my life, along with becoming an actor and having a child. Of the three, finding my sobriety was the hardest thing.
My dad was a violent alcoholic. Really aggressive.
My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong.
It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.
I had a wonderful childhood, which is tough because it's hard to adjust to a miserable adulthood.
