What more is required than a kind of stupid, insensitive doggedness, as lover, as writer, together with a readiness to fail and fail again?

If we were teenagers, I could kiss you. But I’m on a platform behind a counter wearing a name tag and we’re too old to be young.

I’m 32 years old and I’m tired. It’s because I haven’t drank enough coffee. If I had, I’d probably only be 29.

There's nothing more contagious than the laughter of young children; it doesn't even have to matter what they're laughing about.

When one was full of energy and enthusiasm the world was an apple, the future was way beyond the horizon and only the present was pertinent.

I'm a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I'm all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road.

Say what you will, dear sister, we do what we do for the promise of our youth. Yet it is always they who scar beneath the points of daggers.

What hurts so bad about youth isn't the actual butt whippings the world delivers. It's the stupid hopes playacting like certainties.

With every breath, I breathe in so much of inspiration. I feel if there is one thing as free and as important as oxygen, it's inspiration.

Roseanne, Roseanne, if I called to you now, my own self calling to my own self, would you hear me? And if you could hear me, would you heed me?

To love all ages yield surrender;But to the young it's raptures bringA blessing bountiful and tender-As storms refresh the fields of spring.

I believe in recovery, and as a role model I have the responsibility to let young people know that you can make a mistake and come back from it.

Anii mei tineri au sunat a cântec, dar am trecut pe lângă ei şi am rămas cu mâna-ntinsă, ca a regelui Lear.

Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment.

For, if after fifty you don't live the aspirations of the young, go away. Who needs needs spectacled snails, salivating on the Soma of youth.
