You have to remember I've been working with adults since I was 12 - they were my peers, and it has an effect, for sure.
When you grow up on a farm, you grow up fast.
At a very young age I was allowed to go into the cinema and watch adult films.
My father described me as the oldest baby he'd ever seen. I apparently was very serious and reflective.
I was a precocious child. Everyone called me sassy.
I've acted professionally since I was 16.
I had my mid-life crisis at 29. I've got my thirties and forties into the back end of my twenties.
I've been a protected child, but I moved out for further studies when I was 16, and I have travelled quite a bit by myself.
To be honest, I've always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18. I've earned my own money; I've traveled the world. What would I rebel against?
I did all my heavy partying before I turned sixteen.
My mum did encourage me, perhaps most of all by never discouraging me from anything I wanted to do. If you tell kids not to, they're going to do it in the end anyway. I'd finished all that staying-out-all-night-drinking bit when everybody else came to it. Probably why I don't like alcohol today. I had it all by the age of 10.
I think I was one of those kids that, at the age of 13, start filling out a little bit: I was the kid that had the chest, the arms, the calves, especially, with these big legs like an adult.
I never really had a childhood. I was around adults all the time. My favorite book when I was eight was “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex - But Were Afraid to Ask”. I was not afraid to ask.
I think I was shown Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas at seven or eight. That's really bad. I think I've turned out all right; it didn't harm me too much.
Obviously from childhood to my teenage years, I really came into my own. I left the house early; I was on the streets when I was, like, 15. I've been holdin' my own since that age.
In my early teens, I acquired a kind of representative status: went on behalf of the family to wakes and funerals and so on. And I would be counted on as an adult contributor when it came to farm work - the hay in the summertime, for example.

Only thirteen, and she knows how to nasty.
My parents called me their wise little baby. I was mature when I was 4 or 5. My brother and sister were older, so I was raised by four adults.
Growing up in the business you have to grow up very fast - you do have a different type of childhood, that has its benefits and it has its drawbacks.
Kids keep getting wiser younger, which is dangerous, and adults need to stop taking themselves too seriously.
Had my own car at twelve years old. Left school in the tenth grade. Married when I was sixteen. Ain't hard to figure out; I was a man at a very young age.
For precocity some great price is always demanded sooner or later in life.
I've always had a plan. Even since, maybe, 12 years old. Really.
It's been an interesting life. I feel like I'm 40 years old at the age of 16.
