When I was a teenager, I read a lot of Poe.

Maturity is only a short break in adolescence.

I mean, I'm pretty good in real life, but sometimes people seem surprised that I'm like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I'm just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.

This generation has given up on growth. They're just hoping for survival.

If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

Adolescence isn't just about prom or wearing sparkly dresses.

The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to.

Time scoots along pretty fast when you grow up.

I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes.
