I got thrust into some great things when I was really young.
I was voted most artistic in school.
I did important films when I was very young.
I started very young and it is not easy to get to grips what I achieved at the age of 17.
To be called an elder statesman is so unbelievably insulting. Brad Pitt is exactly three years younger than me.
Must one rash word, the infirmity of age, throw down the merit of my better years?
One of the many troubles of growing older is that it gets progressively harder to find a famous historical figure who hadn't yet amounted to anything by the time he was your age.
When you have traveled the world, won Olympic gold, and gone through a very public court battle against your parents all by the age of seventeen, surprises don't come easy.
