I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.
We teach teens what we think they ought to know, and we never tell them what they want to know.
It wasn't my choice to be an open book, but when people found out what my life was like when I was 14 or 15, I didn't deny it. I think the more imperfect you are, the more human you are.
