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 never had teenage years. I guess because I was seen to be more adult than anybody around me.

I spent most of my time with adults because although my parents were older when they had me, they're really like teenagers. I sort of became the third musketeer.

I was a little adult for my age as a teenager, and I didn't feel like I socially fit in with my peers.

I didn't have a teen age at all. I didn't even look at boys, never mind... then suddenly it was like, 'Oh my god!' So I made up for a lot of lost time very quickly. It was kind of bonkers. Working hard, partying hard - but also experiencing life, you know.

I feel, as an adult, I'm very similar to how I was as a pre-teen. Maybe it's a case of arrested development, but I feel like it's easy to slip back into those shoes, and I feel like if we were all magically transported back to our middle school years, we'd all act like we did in middle school.

In a lot of ways, I wasn't a normal teenager.

I never really had a teenage experience. I went from childhood to maturity, and in some ways, it short-circuited me emotionally.

I never really had the fun teens of exploring the world because I was sitting at home, learning programming.

I was always a little adult. Even as a little kid, I just couldn't understand why I was surrounded by all these kids. I took things very seriously.
