I consider my teenage years as being desperately unhappy.

I don't consider Los Angeles home anymore; ultimately, it was pretty negative, but I did spend my formative years in the Valley and all around L.A. proper. Through my teenage years and into my young adulthood, up until the age of 30, I spent a good amount of time there.

I was desperately unhappy with it [Blade Runner]. I was compelled by contract to record five or six different versions of the narration, each of which was found wanting on a storytelling basis.

During my childhood and teenage years, everything I knew was at war. My mother and father were at war. My sister and I were at war.

Y'know, I think, inherently, when you hear something like a teenage narrative come into play, even the idea that it's being called 'teenage' is a notion that it's being reduced to a problem that's not quite adult. That's a problematic thing to say about a narrative that could actually be dangerous, could be hurtful, could be upsetting.
If there's anything worse than being 16, it's having parents visibly reliving their own teenage years in your anguished presence.
So they were desperately in love and being desperately in love involves a desperate existence.
