I got a good-enough adolescence. I mean, there's a sense wherein you skip a part of childhood, too, when you start working at that age I did; I was out working and out of home at 15, paying my own way in the world.

I was always a bit old for my age, then suddenly I'm on set, working alongside the adults, skipping school completely for two years.

I started working at clubs when I was sixteen, which is young. I would not want my kid doing that, but I did, and that's how it went.

I think if you are young and you have children, you still have so much to prove. When you have children later in life, you lose a bit of that urge for working.

There's slowly been a kind of shift in how we think about childhood. It's like childhood almost extends to 20 or 22 even after the end of college. When I was growing up, there was this expectation that you were on your own now.

Because of what I did when I was 10 years old, I'm not living from paycheck to paycheck, and I can do things because I want to do them.

One of the things you don't always realize when you're younger is that not everything you try is going to work.

Parents sometimes make not those allowances for youth, which, when young, they wished to be made for themselves.

Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.

I was working probably at the age of 10, when I had my first paper route. I had every different kind of job you could possibly imagine as a young kid.
