Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.

I'm only realizing now that I was a child actress because I always took myself so seriously.

Even while starting out I took things very seriously; I wasn't the sort of kid that would do a doll commercial or do a series for Nickelodeon. They asked me to do silly things, and I wasn't a silly kid.

Around the age of 14, 15, I was in the studio, serious about it.

I was always the serious kid.

I was very studious.

I began as a boy with artistic talent... as a visual artist... I thought that was what I'd become and in my late teens drifted into reading serious literature.

I was a very nerdy child. I never fit in, so I became laboriously studious.

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.
