I was always in trouble from an early age. I had a fraught relationship with my parents, who were very traditional. Doing plays at school was a joyous release.

I was the bad kid in school. I was usually in trouble.

I was a rebellious kid, always getting into trouble.

I was a little troublemaker. Always trying to get in trouble, always mischief, like throwing rocks at cars when I was younger, all that kind of stuff.

I grew up in a house that had a whole lot of trouble. As much trouble as you could imagine.

I had a lot of trouble in school to begin with. I got left back in kindergarten, and I was in special education. My teachers didn't have very much faith in me.

When I was in high school, I wasn't a troublemaker. I didn't get in fights. I was a good student and I had a lot of friends.

I always was getting into trouble some way, because I was really good at lying when I was a kid.

I got out of difficult situations when many of my classmates didn't because I was smart, and I was lucky, and my parents were amazingly literate and helpful.

I think I'm trouble-adjacent. I remember hearing once that good girls don't get caught. I think that's sort of a lot of what my teen years were like. I skirted the stuff that other kids were doing because the idea of actually getting in trouble was not appealing to me, but I still wanted to have adventures.
