When I very first started out, I had that arrogance of youth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up in a sport that didn't allow you to grow up. There was always the threat of younger competition. So you had to maintain the image of youth.
Youth is incredible because you really do feel invincible.
I was a young, new, hot star, and I had this unbelievable arrogance. As time went on, the strident narcissism and arrogance slowly diminished. But I was definitely there. I'm older now. And a big crybaby.
From a young age, I was viciously competitive.
I see teenagers or people who are 21 and think, 'I was an idiot at that age.' I was running around New York like a crazy woman. Thank God I only had three and a half cents to my name. I was too immature to handle success then.
I didn't even start college until I was 21.
Youth is an amazing thing: I think back on when we did The Lost Boys, and I didn't think I could do anything wrong.
Youth makes you brave, I suppose. When you're young, you make a fool of yourself all the time. Because of all the rejections and the criticism you get all the time, there has to be a drive there.
I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.
I was fortunate enough to have a rambling youth.
