I think I was just a very competitive child.
As soon as I could talk, I was bellowing at the top of my lungs. My parents couldn't get over how weird I sounded - like an old man when I was just a toddler! But no one was gonna shut me up.
My family called me the 'why kid' growing up. I always needed to know why something is happening, why I had to do something, why whatever.
I'd make a good psychiatrist. I can work people out very easily and very quickly. I've been like that since childhood.
I've always been, since I was a little kid, and my son is quite observant, too.
Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude.
I've always been ambitious since I was nine years old and that was never going to change.
When I hear music, my body just starts to move. It has nothing to do with training or anything. That's just me. That's just my body. And I was like that as a child, too.
I have been a very 'hyper boy' right from childhood. And while many liked that trait of mine, my friends didn't.
All my life I have been intensely repelled by the idea of 'making an effort'. I hate this idea today as much as I did as a child. I don't know why I hate it so much; I just do.
My voice has always been kind of distinct - even when I was four years old, my mom told me that people would be like, 'Why does your daughter always sound like a chain smoker?' I've always had this deep, raspy voice.
I was a kid who sometimes got in trouble because I couldn't keep my mouth shut, which turned out to be an advantage when I became an opinion columnist.
I was an observant but dreamy child. I had a lazy eye and wild curls.
I've had Irish skin from the time I was a young girl.
I was a spooky kid; that was just my nature.
