Can you imagine young people nowadays making a study of trigonometry for the fun of it? Well I did.

I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.

I grew up in a house where nobody had to tell me to go to school every day and do my homework.

I liked being a teenager, but I would not go back for all the tea in China.

As I've said many times, the single most oppressed class in America right now is the teenager.

I have always had a sense that we are all pretty much alone in life, particularly in adolescence.

At the age of 16 I was already dreaming of having a baby because I felt myself to be an adult, but my mum forbid it. Right now, I feel like a teenager and I want to have fun for one or two more years before starting a family.

Teenagers who are never required to vacuum are living in one.

I got through my teen years by being a bit of a clown.

I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.
