"My family has a crazy history. Probably the craziest I’ve heard of," Leighton explains to Marie Claire adding, "I couldn’t relate to kid stuff. ‘Jimmy doesn’t like me!’ Who cares? I was worried we didn’t have gas money or food. Those were my concerns.”
But it wasn't all bad times.
“I look back now and I see it in a nice light," she says. "It wasn’t uncomplicated. But I played outside. I went to the beach. There were happy, fun times.”

As for relationships, Leighton isn't sure what her future will bring.
“I never had a boyfriend until I was 18. It’s nice, I guess — when you like them," Leighton explains. "But it isn’t the most important thing. I’m not sure I ever want to get married. The only time a relationship is good is when you really love them. I don’t want to hang out with some guy I just like.”
