I was a hard worker, and I always knew my lines.

If there was a distraction I'd get up and jump out the window. I was quite out of hand. In schools like that I don't think they expect that girls are going to behave in such an outrageous fashion.

I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.

Very quickly, without really looking back or trying, I was just suddenly lifted into another sphere.

I got through my teen years by being a bit of a clown.

Suddenly I had a contract and I was earning lots of money.

I never used to sleep much. I think we all go through a bit of a time like that where we rage about. If we don't, I don't think you've ever really lived.
