The minute I was told what to do at any age, I did the opposite. Hopefully I'll do that for the rest of my life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.
When I look back at my life now, I'm not amazed by what I did at 16 to 21.
I don't think I really realized what being an adult and being a real grownup was until I was at least twenty-eight.
I look back at my adolescence, and I'm shocked at the things I did that were my idea of adult behavior.
You reach a certain age, and you realize, 'Wow: there are younger people doing this better than I can, and don't leave me out - I don't want to be left behind. I want to do it, too. Where are you going? I want to be part of it.'
Like any young person, I do what I want.
I know a lot of people my age are still trying to figure out what to do, and I consider myself lucky that I can make a living doing something that I truly enjoy.
I'm too old to do things by half.
If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.
If I was 14 or 15 again, I would do the same thing. I've done everything. I think I've accomplished more than I had in mind.
