I never realized until recently how much my life parallels Peter Pan.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's the Peter Pan in me, I don't think I'll ever grow up.
As a kid, I read 'Peter Pan,' and I really wanted to be him.
The thing with 'Peter Pan' is it's been done so well so many times.
It's been amazing to play a character that's known by so many people, especially because everyone knows at least something about Peter Pan.
I'm not one of those people who had a burning passion for 'Peter Pan' all my life. Although I can't remember a time when I didn't know the story, I didn't carry around with me an ambition to one day write the sequel.
When I wrote 'The Shadow Thief,' I had an obsession with Peter Pan. I get focused on things. In fact, I was an absolute horror to live with at that stage. I had a big fight with my mum because I wanted her to change the windows so Peter Pan could visit me.
I heard my name associated with the Peter Pan syndrome more than once. But really, what's so wrong with Peter Pan? Peter Pan flies. He is a metaphor for dreams and faith.
When I got the phone call that I was told I was Peter Pan, I freaked out, because I was like, 'Wow! How does that happen?' But pretty much, from there on, everyone's been so lovely.
I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child's imagination. We're all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup.
To be honest, Peter Pan was one of those fairy tales that I sort of related to, and I think that's the case with a lot of kids.
