Dad was never a Mr. Mum-type of person who'd stay at home. It was a big thing when he was home - he was a circus.
I had an extraordinary childhood.
Sure, my childhood was unusual. All these eccentric, wild people frequented our home: rock stars, drag queens, models, bikers, freaks. But I was not this little rich girl. My mom and I lived in an apartment.
To my embarrassment I was born in bed with a lady.
People would be surprised to know that I've gone to regular school my whole life, and I don't have one friend who is an actor!
I think I have the only parents in the world who would not have said something against become an actress.
Poor Harper Seven Beckham, having to live with that name all her life. It's the Boy Named Sue syndrome; at the very least it will toughen her up.
I haven't had to do anything outside of show business my whole life. I've never been a waiter. I've only worked and gotten paid. It hasn't been a classic example of someone slogging through the business.
I'd be a liar if I said I had a normal family.
When I was three or four, only football was in my head. I went 10 years, and nothing changed - only football, football, football. The strange thing is, nobody played football in my family before.
I had a bit of a strange childhood, to be honest.
My dad didn't drive - the only dad I knew who didn't.
My mother and father were very strange people. They tried to be funny which is always very sad to me.
It certainly was unusual growing up with two fairly well-known pastors as my parents.
My life certainly hasn't been ordinary: different is the word. It hasn't always been stable - except in the important things which are love and security within the family. Whenever there were strains at home, we could always communicate. The rule was that the younger you were, the louder you were allowed to scream. As the eldest, I just talked.
I didn't have a normal childhood by any means. But it was what it was, and I appreciate what my parents did for me.
I'm one of the few people in Hollywood who actually had a good childhood.
I do have a somewhat unique upbringing.
I was born at the age of twelve on a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lot.
My parents were very unusual people, but it was more valuable to have other people say that than me.
As children we recognized that we belonged to an unusual, even exceptional, family, but the effect was different on each of us.
My parents were like these hippies almost: they are free-spirited, but they were also strict - which seems like a weird dynamic - but it worked.
I live a very normal life. I have friends, and I've always gone to school. The part that's not normal is that I've been working since I was 9 months old, but at the same time, it's completely normal to me.
I didn't realise my upbringing was unusual until my teens. As the child of two actors, I presumed that visiting film sets and being surrounded by colourful characters was normal.
I think my mother realized she had a somewhat unusual daughter pretty early on.
