Unlike most other children, - especially unlike those of today - who are eager to become men and women as speedily as possible, I had a terror of growing up, which became more and more accentuated as I grew older.

I wasn't frightened of people, but I didn't have a clue about the adult world.

I was definitely an at-risk kid growing up.

I think being a dad is scary. I mean, I'm not that grown-up myself.

I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.

Growing up, I was prone to anxiety.

I don't think I really realized what being an adult and being a real grownup was until I was at least twenty-eight.

I was not a very fearful kid, really.

When I was younger, I was afraid to be myself.

To be honest, I was kind of a shy kid growing up.
