I was a child of privilege and I woke up to a world on fire.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was brought up in a world of privilege.
My childhood was marked by a tension between privilege on the one hand and emotional dysfunction on the other.
I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream.
I think I've had a very privileged life.
My father grew up in a life of extreme privilege.
I am so thrilled by the privilege of life, and yet at the same time I know that I have to let it go.
I was sure I'd set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth - that I hadn't set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if 'The Big Trail' had been a success and launched me as a star.
When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.
I just thank God that I didn't grow up with so much money or privilege because you had to create ways to make it happen.
I didn't grow up with great privilege, nor did I grow up wanting for anything. I was a middle-class kid and, relative to the rest of the world, that's great wealth.
