When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.

I had some fears as a kid, but I was also relatively fearless. Maybe that's a result of living half the time in reality and the other half in fantasy.

When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.

I've always gone after fears and tried to stifle them by doing them. It is daunting, but it's more rewarding.

I like normal stuff people fear - like spiders and heights. I'm frightened by the unknown, by things that are hard to figure out and get a grip on.

I need to be frightened of things. I hate it, but I must need it, because it's what I do.

The first several years of my life were used to upload incredible amounts of fear, and I just became afraid of everything. I was afraid of my parents, afraid of my classmates, afraid of the streets of Washington, D.C. I would flinch at every gesture.

When I was a kid, I used to love it when one of my friends would jump out from behind a door and try to scare me. I always did the same thing in response.
