Only children are weird. The only children I know, including myself, are either superweird or very talented and special or a mix of the two. I think there was always a certain independence and loneliness - I had a lot of imaginary friends as a kid.

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 very gregarious, and I was usually surrounded by close family.

I had what you could call a chaotic childhood. My parents divorced when I was 2; I went back and forth between my mom's and dad's houses for years.

In a way, I had a very good and normal childhood. I had loving and caring parents. But I had a lot of quirks or problems when I was growing up. I had phobias and obsessions.

I didn't really get a normal childhood.

I always wondered what it would be like to have a normal childhood.

I've always reverted to a sense of childhood, just in everyday life.

I had a happy, dramafree youth, growing up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. The only thing that was slightly unusual compared to most of my friends was that I was an only child... I don't think that's why my parents gave me a dummy, at least they've never copped to it.

My house was very strange. I didn't do things other kids did because my parents were very strict - I stayed at home, quiet in my room.
