As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.

I didn't have a normal childhood by any means. But it was what it was, and I appreciate what my parents did for me.

My childhood was extreme.

I was something of a problem kid. I was emotional, wild, rebellious at school. I'm very touched by kids who don't have advantages; they are much more interesting than kids who have everything. They have a lot of passion and emotion, such a strong will.

I didn't really get a normal childhood.

I had always shown childhood as something difficult, something you want to get the hell out of, but now I wanted to do a story that was the opposite, about that moment in time when you're in that world of discovery, doing what you want to do. That fleeting moment when you're in your zone.

I have nothing to say about my childhood. It was a perfectly pleasant upbringing - it's not like it was unhappy or anything.

My childhood did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.

My childhood had its challenges, like everyone's. It imbued me with certain things and took away others. It made me very determined.
