Seeing my parents makes me realise that life is not a fairy tale.

I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes.

Life is extremely complicated.

I think that when something happens when you're growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren't as straightforward.

As far as how I grew up, and who is in my life, it's still a very complicated thing as far as how I want to get that across.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

I never grew up reading or fantasizing about fairy tales. I was always too busy, like, outside being a kid.

Childhood has its secrets and its mysteries; but who can tell or who can explain them!

I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe that you can find love in many different places and be very conflicted. I've discovered as I've grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you're a kid. It isn't just a straightforward fairytale.

You know, as an only child, you're kind of in a bubble, and there are all sorts of things about my childhood that I still can't really place.
