My parents were so relaxed by the time I was growing up that I got away with a lot more.

I was thinking about what it was like for my parents to have a strange kid with a hobby or a pursuit that maybe they weren't that familiar with. It must have been a strange experience - nerve-wracking, in some ways.

My parents always encouraged me to do creative stuff, to do weird stuff.

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.

I find it soothing, the thought of a movie theater.

Growing up, it was about finding a way to entertain myself outdoors. We spent all the summers on the beach, camping with my family a bunch, and traveling as much as we could. My parents wouldn't let me watch too much TV growing up or play video games, or anything like that.

My parents were very relaxed about music.

I used to go with my parents and loved it, I was in school plays, and I started reading plays before I started reading novels. I'll defend it to the hilt. When theatre is good it is fabulous.

I grew up in a very small town and didn't realise till later that I had an adventurous side. When I went to theatre school at 18, I came into my own and let loose.

My parents wanted me to grow up around horses and open spaces.
