I genuinely hit puberty before everyone.

I didn't hit puberty until I was, like, 17, so I love to talk about that.

I was wildly interested in puberty as a child.

What happens when children reach puberty earlier and adulthood later? The answer is: a good deal of teenage weirdness.

Puberty is an extremely traumatic process even if you don't realize it. It kind of lives with you for like 10 years.

Can you imagine peaking as a teen? I think if you peak in high school, there's a problem. That's what my sister always said: 'Don't worry, you'll peak later.'

If I can help get anybody through puberty, I say, 'Good!'

Puberty extends into your twenties, for sure, and some people don't get over that until much later in life. I feel like I'm just starting to get over puberty - basically twenty years of insufferable, totally self-obsessed hell.

In your teens, you get the physical puberty, and between 28 and 32, mental puberty. It does make you feel differently.

No matter when you were born or where, puberty is the same. It's the same for your parents as it is for you - what's happening in your body dictates everything.
