You know how sometimes, when you talk to little kids, they look a bit shy and cling to their parents? That’s the opposite of what I was like as a child. I’d be the kid who walked up to people saying: “Good morrow, sir, and how are you this fine day?” My parents would always be apologising to people and telling them: “We don’t know what’s got into him.” I was always precocious and supremely confident, though I have absolutely no idea where I got that from.
