I'm very comfortable with the idea of there being late bloomers, and for me, of course, there's no difficulty at all in the way that I think of talent and achievement and so on.

It is so important to allow children to bloom and to be driven by their curiosity.

I was definitely a late bloomer and didn't really come into my own until I was probably in my 20s.

I was a late bloomer. I wasn't a child performer.

I'm a late bloomer. Being a late bloomer is a problem when you decide at 40 you want to have children.

I'll be honest: I was a super-late bloomer, and I was kind of a prude.

I'm a late bloomer.

I always thought of myself as a later bloomer, so I like some of my work more later than earlier.

The idea of being a 'child star' always sounded awful to people my age, and so I was just very aware that these things are kind of fleeting and that a lot of it didn't have to do with me: it had to do with my age; it had to do with whatever came to mind when people thought of a young internet sensation.
