I have a very fun life. I don't recommend it for anybody else, but it sure has been fun for me.
It's weird, I grew up in California, and I've only surfed, like, once.
Yeah, I've had an odd youth, But I wouldn't know the difference if I'd lived it any other way. And I wouldn't change any of it because I quite like what I'm doing.
It's commonly said that people who've been ill in childhood and who've had an upset education never really regret that they do. It means that you don't look at the world in the way that other people do, and if you were inclined to be a writer, that's a help.
I was a kiddie pool attendant, and I was a white rapper. That's not going to get you a job on Wall Street.
I was the last person to experience everything. I didn't really waste time worrying about fitting in or going to parties, because I looked very young for my age and wouldn't have fit in even if I tried.
It's an unusual situation for me to be working and making a living.
They do say that the profession gets increasingly difficult, but my career seems to have been inside out.
