We are already expected to be the goodie two shoes. I went through that during my junior high schools where I wasn't allowed to watch television. I wasn't allowed to listen to the radio.

I was 16 years old, driving to LA, and sleeping in my car, just trying to make it happen.

I was actually raised around a lot of children. So, I'm very comfortable around children.
