"What was it like growing up?"
I hate this question, thankfully not too many people ask me. Clarence did once, and one or two people before him. Usually, I spend my time talking about growing up in New York. The city has all kinds of opportunities. It has some of the world's best museums and educational institutions. I had opportunities there that I never would have had anywhere else. I could go anywhere, get anywhere and do almost anything. I loved growing up in Manhattan.

I leave out that when I wasn't doing those things my life was pure hell. Clarence was the only one I said anything to. Well...the only one I didn't pay. I guess it's because I had this feeling I wouldn't have had to listen to "Oh Poor Claire". I have issues with that. What happened, happened. I overcame it. I did not let it ruin my life.
