When I was 13, I looked like I could play 16, and I wasn't mature enough to play 16.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm 26 years old. I don't need to be playing 16 anymore.
There were some super-lean years, yeah. I'm six feet four. And I entered into this period all of a sudden when I was too big to play a kid and I was too young to play an adult. Like, I couldn't play the lawyer, but I couldn't play the high school kid anymore.
I was maybe only 13 or 14 when I started to play junior tournaments.
I think I was 8 or 9 when I did my first play. It was at a community level, but that's when I knew that this is what I loved doing.
I don't think I want to play a teenager anymore.
If you ask any of my close friends, they know I always complain that I never get to play my age.
I've always played way older than my age. It's the experience behind my eyes or something.
If I started at 13, by the time I was 14 I was already good enough to play in front of people. I started off playing drums when I was 5, so playing in front of people didn't matter - not a problem.
I was 16 and did a play at school. I was a rather good student... And then I did a play when I was 16 and completely lost all my concentration for academics.
So I always figured I'd still be playing at this age.
