I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.

I was not typical. Whatever typical or normal is, I was somehow separated and different.

I was brought up by my grandparents. So people go, 'Oh, what was that like? That must have been hard.' And you go: 'No, it wasn't.' It was just completely actually normal because the new norm seems to be whatever you make of it, doesn't it?

I was a normal kid. I can't explain how normal I was.

I think in this, definitely, because you are feeling how it felt to live in a completely different time. The mannerisms and the way that people behaved was quite different.

I always wondered what it would be like to have a normal childhood.

When I was a teenager, I thought nothing would ever happen to me because my childhood was so normal. I had this complex of normality.

It was nothing, just the normal thing to do at the time.

I experienced the judgement of a lot of people - and deservedly so.
