So I say 'Wait a minute, did I really have a happy childhood?' And the answer is pretty simple: I had a very happy childhood. I look back on it with very pleasant memories. There's some line I read about the longing for the euphoria of forgotten childhood dreams. And it was like the dream because the world was so small. I can't remember being able to see more than a couple of blocks. What happened after that couple of blocks was not part of me -- zero. And those couple of blocks are huge. So all the little details are blown out of proportion. And there's happiness in one yard, one fence, or one piece of light on something. And hours could be spent in one tiny locale at the corner of a yard. Sometimes those memories get unlocked, and I get euphoria. In the mind of a kid, everything seemed peacefully beautiful. Airplanes passed by slowly in the sky. Rubber toys floated on the water. Meals seemed to last five years and nap time seemed endless."
