I worried too much when I was a kid.

I think what's at risk is kids losing touch with being a kid. Being a kid is being defined differently than it was when you didn't have all this stuff you could put in front of your face.

In my twenties, I was a huge, insane risk-taker.

I think I was a bit frightened of having to be a grownup and tried to put that off for as long as I could.

That was kind of scary. You got the sense as a little kid that you might be at risk now, and then you're like, 'Why are we at risk? It's because my grandfather is in charge of all of this.' You can't really realize the magnitude of a job like that when you are eight.

My upbringing as a child was very atypical.

I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.

I basically was a precocious little kid.

I was a very confident little kid.
