I found my niche as a character actor and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.
Teen pop will never die as long as there are teens and popular music. It just takes a different head.
I'd never made a teen comedy in my life.
Teenagers who are never required to vacuum are living in one.
We never really grow up we only learn how to act in public.
As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.
And so when I moved to IBM I moved because I thought I could apply technology. I didn't actually have to do my engineer - I was an electrical engineer but I could apply it. And that was when I changed. And when I got there though I have to say at the time I really never felt there was a constraint about being a woman. I really did not.
I had two passions growing up - one was music one was technology. I tried to play in a band for a while but I was never talented enough to make it. And I started companies. One day came along and I decided to combine the two - and there was Spotify.
I try to be careful because technology changes so much over the years. But some things don't change. Kids and parents have disagreements kids try to manipulate parents try to sit down with rules and regs. That part never changes.
As children many of us were taught never to talk to strangers. As parents and grandparents our message must change with technology to include strangers on the Internet.
