I’m a comic nerd. I’m a former serious collector for much of my childhood and early teen years I wanted to draw underground comics.
All that stuff – ‘teen idol’ – that wasn’t me.
My younger sister and younger brother are huge ‘Teen Witch’ fans.
There was a three-year chunk as a teen where I should have been tranquilized and put in a cage.
When I was a teen, I thought I would have to choose between my writing or my music or my art, but it turns out it’s a difficult juggling game but I can do all of them.
Watching ‘CSI: Miami’ is like watching ‘Teen Jeopardy!’ or doing the crossword puzzle in ‘People’ magazine. It makes you feel smart even when you’re not.
I will be able to look back on my teen years as spent on a television set just having the biggest bunch of fun.
What I think we should be doing is refocusing all the prevention budgets, all the money spent on teen gangs and young offenders, on conception to age two at a rate of 2% a year.
Every season of ‘Teen Wolf’ was really cool and exciting and unique, but there was just something about the first season story-wise that was, I think, the coolest.
Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.
Being a teen is past for me. Worrying about the world and my place in it is not.
Yeah, I spent my teen years in West Virginia, and when I was a kid, in Louisiana. I definitely have that exposure to two different sorts of rural: the South and Appalachia.
Yes, but I don’t think of the Teen Angel as of an age.
This may just be me, but I feel like everyone’s dream is to live as an American high school student. There are so many teen films set in America that you live vicariously through them, anyway.
Teenagers are asking, ‘Who am I?’ and ‘How do I fit in?’ in every aspect of their lives, and the best YA romances appreciate that there is more to a teen’s life than finding love.
The Teen Challenge Training Center on Pennsylvania farmland houses over 200 men in rehab. Other farms and centers have been birthed out of this ministry all over the world.
For me, music doesn’t have a color. ‘Teen Spirit’ is a fire song made by a white guy that me as a black person loves and can identify with.
I don’t think there’s a problem with being a teen idol, if that happens to me, I’ll be happy to deal with it.
I was a typical teen growing up in the 1960s, when everybody was into gurus and meditation.
I decided that, if I were to write a teen series, I’d want to set it in a place that was familiar to me – Manhattan, where I’d grown up – and I’d model the characters on myself and my friends.
It seems like whenever a big newspaper or TV show talks about teen literature, they focus on dark books or vampire books. It’s kind of this cliche. It seems like the only time adults pay attention is with that angle.
I’ve always enjoyed the teen angst thing. I had a lot of teen angst as I was growing up, so I think I have a lot to say about it through characters before I have to move on.
There’s an indie movie I did called ‘Fat Kid Rules the World,’ which was based on a teen book, and it’s a fabulous story, and hopefully it’ll go to theaters because it is an amazing story.
I think I’m also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions, whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.
It hasn’t been until the last couple years that I’ve started playing close to my age. But it’s fun playing the younger roles because it takes you back to the teen years.
