I wasn't going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.
When you're a kid, you have these big ideas and these big dreams to make a change, or maybe you feel like you can't make a difference.
I did theater as a kid, more of an after-school program. But every night I would put on a movie and fall asleep to it.
I've always been like that. I was a tomboy when I was a kid, so I was always playing baseball and basketball and football and stuff as a kid with the boys.
I've always been into fashion since I was a kid. I love fashion. I appreciate it. I just enjoy dressing up and getting all the new sneakers and all the hot exclusive clothes - I did even when I was young.
That's one of the problems with making music your business, it becomes a business. You're no longer just this kid who is a fan and going to see every show. I've been in a bar every night for the last 15 years. Going to see bands for me is work.
I read very, very little fiction as a kid. All the books I can remember are junior science books.
If we can inspire a kid to pick up a guitar - and less and less kids are doing so these days - it'd be really cool because I know how it felt growing up and how special that was for me.
When I was 14, I thought I was the coolest kid in school because I told everyone the jokes in FHM.
I have been a depressed kid. I wanted to lead a quiet life, never wanted to be an actor.
There's nothing cooler than going to work and hanging around with your friends and laughing, because it's something that you get told off for throughout your entire time at school... it's just like a big 'in your face' to those bully teachers that you had when you were a kid.
I feel like I'm going backwards, actually, as I get older. I'm regressing. I feel more and more like a kid, which is kind of a fun feeling.
Playing gives me as much good feeling now as it did when I was a bitty kid.
I was into comic books as a kid.
I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.
All of my friends are like, 'Look at me when I was a little kid. I was so cute!' and it's a picture of them in a tutu. I'm so terrified to show them my pictures, because it's me in boy shorts and a ponytail and my brother's shirt.
It turns out that the 'Cry It Out' method of baby sleep training, where you ignore that your kid is screaming, crying and turning 40 shades of purple so that she can break herself out of the habit of being spoiled and cuddled to sleep, does more harm - way more - than good.
When I was a kid, I always thought that I'd be a comic book artist. It took a long time to start thinking that I could be a musician.
I went from just a regular nappy-headed kid in poverty to Amar'e Stoudemire, New York Knicks captain superstar. But there's a lot in between that allowed me to get from point A to point B.
I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe that you can find love in many different places and be very conflicted. I've discovered as I've grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you're a kid. It isn't just a straightforward fairytale.
The little boy, Spencer Breslin, it was just so great to have a kid on set. He is talented, he's a pro. He's been doing this for years, I think he started when he was four or five.
I was acting since I was a kid, going to drama classes and being involved in every school play and musical that I could get my hands on, so it was something that was a part of me from a very early age.
As far as superhero stories, what's appealing is of course that aspect of wish fulfillment. I mean, you start out reading them as a kid, and a couple things jump out at you - there are heroes out there, and you wish you could run into a phone booth and change your life, or be like Peter Parker and put on a mask and become a hero.
I grew up in the '80s where there's a lot of these kind of post-apocalyptic, post-comet, post-whatever it was, so that always captured my imagination a lot as a little kid, that idea of getting access to secret places and being able to roam around where you're not supposed to.
I was awkward-looking with huge brown eyes, dark brown, pencil-straight hair styled into an old-school Romanian bowl haircut from the 1980s. And I was very, very small. I was always the tiniest kid on my street and in my classes at school... The gym was the one place I didn't have to worry about feeling awkward for being so petite.
I go to a regular school still, and I have the normal life of a regular kid.
You work with stand-up comedians or you work with somebody in theater, you work with somebody from 'Star Search' or 'Survivor' or a kid, it constantly changes how you play with people.
I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.
I was a tough kid. I don't punch people anymore.
Me and my son got pictures on the Batmobile. I'm a big kid.
I was such a tomboy as a kid, and I'm a dancer.
I'm just this kid from Toronto who got his start.
I remember doing my mosaics or being in my little hiding place behind the couch snooping. I'd get bored sometimes, of course, but I think that's good for a kid, because it forces you to be creative.
I used to be more of a wild kid. But I've slowed down.
I've been my mom's kitchen helper since I was a little kid.
Understand that I had no concept of what being an actor was like when I was a kid - but I wanted to be an actor. Dressing up and being other people seemed like so much fun, but I didn't know what was involved.
