I always hated being a child. I always felt like an adult trapped in a child's body.

I was an unhappy child, and that puts me off having a child of my own.

I wasn't happy at all as a child. I was very privileged and knew extraordinary people, but I felt very lonely: my mother thought I was extremely difficult and my grandmother was extremely severe.

I hated myself for so many reasons, and I thought so many things were my fault that happened to me growing up.

As a child I was not allowed to express my feelings, so I had to go back through therapy and express the child's pain.

I was miserable as a kid.

Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.

I was not prepared to live as a single parent.

I had a beautiful childhood and a lovely childhood. I just didn't like being a child. I didn't like the rank injustice of not being listened to. I didn't like the lack of autonomy.

I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.
