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

People will say that it's some kind of evasion, but I would never want to have a kid for me. I'd want to have the child for the child's sake, if that makes sense.

Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.

I was not prepared to live as a single parent.

I don't remember being a child, and that's why I think I'm so child-like now in my unending curiosity and approach to life.

I never had much interest in being a child. As a way of being it seemed flat, failed to engage.

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

I was not considered a kid that would be successful in my career.

I did not want to raise a genetically compromised child. I did not want my children to have to contend with the massive diversion of parental attention, and the consequences of being compelled to care for their brother after I died. I wanted a genetically perfect baby, and because that was something I could control, I chose to end his life.
