It's sad to think what the state of rock and roll will be twenty years from now. It just seems like when rock and roll is dead the whole world's gonna explode. It's already so rehashed and so plagariazed that it's barely alive now. It's disgusting. I mean, kids don't even really care about rock and roll as much as they used to, as the other generations have. It's already turned into nothing but a fashion statement and an identity for kids to use as a tool for them to fuck and have a social life. And at that point I really can't see music being of any importance to a teenager, really. View quote
Kurt Cobain

As a teenager, I was always this strange mixture of kind of vice-captain of the rugby team and sensitive artist type the rest of the time. I was sent away to this public school in the middle of nowhere, and I think we managed to completely miss out on normal youth culture. View quote
Mark Haddon

Meg Cabot
As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh. View quote
Melissa McCarthy
When I was a teenager, I continued to visit imaginary places by spending all my free time at our local community theater. Whether I acted in a play or worked backstage, the world of Tennessee Williams or Shakespeare always seemed more real to me than the dreary life of high school. View quote
Mary Pope Osborne
Kids are kids. No matter what year it is, no matter what language they speak or culture they're in. There is something deeply universal about being a teenager, and I try to capture that universality in the things that I write. View quote

Although I'm a retired teenager, I remember what it was like to be one. I could have sworn I was riding an emotional roller coaster most of the time. Looking back, I'm actually amazed that I survived. Barely. (Sean Covey)
In 'George Lopez', I played Veronica who's a bratty 18-year-old, and so I feel like it's much easier for me to play that because I feel like a late bloomer. It wasn't difficult or challenging at all because it's not like I haven't been a teenager. View quote
Aimee Garcia
When I was a teenager, I did a lot of pull-ups and push-ups. Every night before bed, I'd do 150 - in sets of 30 or so. Looking back on it now, I'm not totally sure that's the best way to improve as a climber. But it did make me a lot better at doing pull-ups and push-ups. View quote
Alex Honnold
They [women] cannot march as far or as fast as men, or endure the front-line ordeal as well, or drive a bayonet into an enemy with the same force, or tackle bare-handed an opponent far more muscular and brutal than they are. Some may be trained to shoot well, but whether they will do so in action with male callousness (and eagerness) is doubtful. Courage doesn't come into it. Women are if anything braver than men, but the notion of a female teenager fighting hand-to-hand with a Panzer Grenadier or a Japanese White Tiger - or a Royal Marine - is ludicrous. View quote
George MacDonald Fraser
In acting, you have a writer, a director, a character - you're working through being another person - and the irony I always tell people is when I acted early on as a teenager, it actually kept me out of trouble. View quote
Juliette Lewis
