My 20s were spent in a room, alone, mixing paints and figuring it all out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My 20s were a completely and utterly different time in my life.
My 20s was a time for self-exploration and, okay, a little self-indulgence.
By my mid-20s, I was a total mess.
I wasted most of my 20s being so frustrated I forgot to have fun. I was so concentrated on one thing - 'Must make movie.'
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
I had a quite unconventional childhood, in the sense that I traveled a lot and I went to 10 or 11 schools. I was completely confused academically, but wherever I went, I could paint. I painted an inordinate amount.
I was always painting when I was a kid. But then when I handled a camera when I was 17, that was it for me. I loved photography. I would work 4 or 5 hours a day. It was like a calling.
I didn't start to be an artist myself until I was 24.
For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.
My 20s were a lost decade. I didn't do much of anything.
