They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.
I love being a part of Aqua Teen.
Just because you have teenagers in a movie doesn’t make it a teen movie.
I don’t know if this is too weird to say, but this is completely surreal for me. Bizarre. The cover of ‘Teen Vogue’ has been on my bucket list forever.
I was a teen idol and that has a short shelf life.
I’d never made a teen comedy in my life.
I didn’t want to be the typical teen idol. I didn’t want to be Leif Garrett. I didn’t want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing.
Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I’m crazy for turning down all that money, but I’m very picky.
I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.
I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst.
‘Teen Moms!’ I started watching them like the first two seasons, and I stopped. I stopped because they are too young. I feel sorry for them. And I didn’t watch that show ‘Hoarders.’ That thing would made my skin crawl.
I’m so fascinated by the concept of teen pregnancy for some reason. Not that I condone it or promote it, but it’s just a very real thing in our country and culture.
The distinction has blurred between young adult and adult books. Some of the teen books have become more sophisticated.
To even be called the ‘teen queen’ is crazy.
I grew up in a difficult environment, but I became a Christian as a teen. My mom and my sister soon became Christians also.
I was a troubled teen and I was constantly looking for someone to throw me a rope. Those ropes are connections. They allow us to see that life exists beyond the little worlds we are currently a part of.
When I got near teen age, I was so happy with my friends and the African-American culture that I couldn’t imagine not being part of it.
As a unique person, I was bullied badly as a teen.
Obviously when you’re a teen you have no money, so you make, like, three outfits out of one dress. You’re like, ‘OK cut the arms here. Alright: New party, cut them to here.’
I got the acting bug really young, when I was around, like, 10. I pretty much just wanted to be Michael J. Fox. He was in ‘Teen Wolf’ – that was, like, the coolest role, and then he did ‘Back to the Future,’ and that was the coolest role.
My whole life, growing up, I always wanted to be in comedy. I never felt comfortable doing the ‘teen hunk’ thing.
I love being a teen because you don’t have all the responsibilities of an adult yet.
I write edgy, sexy teen romances, and that’s what I’ll continue to do.
When I was a freshman, I didn’t have that much time for extra-curriculars, so I didn’t do any theater stuff. Actually, I didn’t do it with my school. I did theater with this thing called Teen Source.
As a teen, I heard the second Velvet Underground album, ‘White Light/White Heat,’ and it was too much for my limited scope of appreciation. It was intense, but I didn’t get it.
