I was an only child for 16 years. I didn't realize it at the time, but that experience definitely turned me into a people pleaser. I always tried to do what was expected of me, and I constantly sought reassurance from the adults around me that I was doing a good job.

I look back at my adolescence, and I'm shocked at the things I did that were my idea of adult behavior.

At some particular time, when I was 14 years old, I've done something that people didn't expect.

I know that sounds dramatic, but shooting everything twice and going through the emotions of two different humans was crazy for me at 16. In terms of my career, that was something that really, really formed me.

I couldn't do it at all. I was never really good at it, but I can't imagine what it can be like as a fortunate person not having to deal with it. I mean, people of all ages, not just my age, 25, 35, all the way down the line.

When I look back at my life now, I'm not amazed by what I did at 16 to 21.

When I was a teenager, I thought nothing would ever happen to me because my childhood was so normal. I had this complex of normality.

When you're 16 or 17, I think like most people that age, the first time you experience certain things in life, whether it's heartbreak or death or love, obviously it's going to seem like a much bigger deal.
