I think in television and film, it's not usually the child's point of view. It's the story of an adult.

I think my gap adds character. A while ago, on the street, a guy yelled, 'You could stick a gold through your front teeth!' Which meant I could put a £1 coin between them. But you can't. I've tried! Fifty-pence coins and 2-pence coins, yes. But not a pound. Georgia May Jagger

Truth Myself Character Me Problem Walk Challenge Believe Difficult Say Out Find Scared Emotion Take Instance Talents Opera Because Very Role Going Crap Whether Away Phantom

What I love about 'Breaking Bad' is the reflection of many people's - it's more real in terms of people have faults, people have character traits that they don't like about themselves.
