I didn't have a normal childhood by any means. But it was what it was, and I appreciate what my parents did for me.

At a very young age I was allowed to go into the cinema and watch adult films.

I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.

Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.

Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.

My parents were definitely on the incentive side of parenting. Like, they told me that my father had learned to read when he was three. So, of course, I thought I had to, too.

I don't think my dad really knew what to do with me, as a daughter. He treated me like a boy; my brother and I were treated the same. He didn't do kid stuff. There were no kid's menus; you weren't allowed to order off the kid's menu at dinner - we had to try something from the adult menu.

I grew up in an acting family. I was heavily discouraged from doing it myself when I was young, which is the only responsible route to take with any child, because it's not necessarily the easiest of lives.
