‘Teen Beach Movie’ was a lot of fun because we were in Puerto Rico on an island – you can’t even call it work!
I think the fans from the original ‘Teen Wolf’ tuned in expecting us to ruin the franchise, and I think that we’ve only heightened it. So we’ve brought ‘Teen Wolf’ back.
I’ve always gravitated towards those ultimate lines in songs, the line you grab on to. That line in ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ ‘Here we are now/Entertain us’ – the irony, the antagonism; that’s always stuck with me.
Being a teen idol or being a heartthrob on all the magazines, with Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, and Scott Baio – it was embarrassing! I never understood it. I mean, why me? I never really got it.
When I was in the 12th grade, I got my girlfriend pregnant. I just got out of school, she was a 10th-grader. I’m a teen parent, and I’m at a point where I’m like, ‘Man I’ve got to do something.’
I started wearing all black around the time I got into Nirvana. I first heard ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ when I was about 12, and I remember jumping on my bed, so excited about it.
I grew up watching a lot of stuff, like ‘Teen Titans.’
It’s always good to get feedback from people. I’ve been fortunate that all the fans, and especially fans of ‘Teen Wolf,’ have been really gracious.
This is actually something no one knows, but my mom was really the one who created the entire style for ‘Teen Witch.’ I’m dead serious.
A departure from the movie with Michael J. Fox, ‘Teen Wolf’ tells the story of how a group of angsty teens deal with werewolves, their supernatural kin and the world of trouble that comes with it, all while trying to still live their lives.
I’m still good friends with everybody from ‘Teen Wolf.’ I still see them, and I go to Jeff Davis’ for ‘Teen Wolf’ night when I can. It was such a rewarding experience. That’s such a fun set.
After ‘Freaky Friday,’ another teen movie was not on my playlist.
Being a musician since I was a teen, Guitar Center is the staple. You need anything to create, it’s there. You need a Guitar Center. You gotta give it homage. It’s a tool shed, and without the tool shed, it’s hard to create.
During my teen years, I was real emotional. I could be really up or down.
For me, the teen years were all about searching for a place for myself, wondering why I seemed so different than everyone else, wondering especially why no one could look past the surface and figure out who I really was underneath.
Teen fiction should be about teenagers – no matter how many arguments there are about what YA lit should be, this seems like the one thing we can all agree on.
I took high school very casually. There was Teen Town, chess, tennis, boxing, running. Lots of things going on.
What’s great about teen fiction is that it’s all mixed up – there’s highbrow and lowbrow!
‘Catcher in the Rye.’ I feel like any brooding teen loves that book.
I was a big fan of black gospel. As a kid, there were black groups I sang with from my teen years to my early 20s.
To be honest, and this is terrible to admit, I hardly read any teen mystery books at all.
People still come up to me and say, ‘Hey, ’Teen Wolf!’ ‘Teen Wolf Too’ closed a week after it opened. Where did they see it?
The ‘Teen Wolf’ fans are so great.
I went on an audition once for a show, and the feedback was to play an angry teen. My agent convinced me to try out. I was really bitter for a while, because it sucks when you don’t get good scripts after working on good quality.
I won Miss Teen World, and then a movie rep saw me on the pageant website and thought that I had the perfect image for the role in ‘Madrasapattinam.’
