I Got Through My Teen Years By

Suddenly I Had A Contract And I Was Earning Lots Of Money.

The Most Surprising Thing For My Mother And Father Was When I Was Actually Earning More Money Than Them By The Time I Was About 18. They Thought I Was Going To Be The Ne'er Do Well, Who They'd Have To Keep Worrying About.

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.
