I love being a teen because you don't have all the responsibilities of an adult yet.

When I was seven, I was allowed to be an extra in 'Parenthood,' which was amazing. But then I kind of got addicted to it, and my parents didn't want me to want to act. They felt that would be putting your kid in an adult world.

I don't think I really realized what being an adult and being a real grownup was until I was at least twenty-eight.

I'm spoiled. All of my adult jobs have left me with complete freedom to come up with what I wanted.

I was raised with adults. I skipped knowing how to interact as a normal teenage person.

I was not developmentally disabled, but didn't mature at the same rate other kids did.

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.

I didn't have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.
