My kids are so much better parent than I was.

I was always different from all the other kids, and I was doing things that nobody else did or seemed to have any interest in.

I was definitely different from the other kids... I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard. I was a very serious kid.

I'd always been around kids, and when you don't have kids, you have a lot more time to do things. Before I had kids, I was a lot more prolific and wrote books a lot faster.

I was something of a problem kid. I was emotional, wild, rebellious at school. I'm very touched by kids who don't have advantages; they are much more interesting than kids who have everything. They have a lot of passion and emotion, such a strong will.

I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.

I've always been a good kid.

I didn't have a good childhood because I never could get along with other kids. I was the child that sat in the corner eating lunch by herself.

Even when I was a kid, everything I had was the best.

I was a weak kid, not good at what all the boys at school were good at and I found that by acting, by being other people, I could liberate myself from those inadequacies.
