When I was young, an eccentric uncle decided to teach me how to lie. Not, he explained, because he wanted me to lie, but because he thought I should know how it's done so I would recognise when I was being lied to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, when I was younger, I lied all the time, because once you understand the power of lying, it's really like magic because you transform reality for people.
My dad once told me, he was like, 'The only time you should lie is when someone's holding a gun to your head and says 'Okay, lie or I'm going to shoot you.' And that really stuck with me.
So my father was a person who never lied to me. If I had a question, he answered it. I knew a lot of things at a young age because I was intrigued.
As a child I was a great liar. Fortunately my mother liked my lies. I promised her marvelous things.
Growing up with three brothers and three sisters, I was the storyteller of the family... what my mother called 'The Liar.'
Once in a while, when I was younger, I'd lie, then tell the truth, and I'd feel better.
I always was getting into trouble some way, because I was really good at lying when I was a kid.
When I was really young, I used to lie a lot. Now I get paid to do it.
I was the biggest liar for no reason, and then as I got older, I thought, 'Why am I lying to everybody?' I would hear other people lie and be like, 'You sound so stupid.' So then I would just change my lies. The only person I lie to is my little sister, when I steal her clothes.
I always sensed instinctively from the earliest age that I was being lied to.
