It's funny that I'm so popular with seven-, eight-, nine-year-olds.
I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.
Somewhere between a third and a quarter of all people living in America today were born between 1946 and 1965 and if you think you're tired of hearing about us, you should try being one of us.
I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.
I'm trying to write for people my age. And my inspiration over the years has changed dramatically.
I work with elementary- and middle school-age girls.
I look at other people my age in this industry, other famous people my age, and they've just got famous friends. Which is cool, but I love being normal and just chilling at mine.
I'm an older generation.
When people say, 'I know you. What have I seen you in?' I respond, 'Well, it depends on how old you are.'
Each kid has a different level of expertise and some of them are very raw and inexperienced and some are incredibly mature and experienced. So you just have to go with what they are rather than have some abstract technique that you're going to try to apply to them.
Of course, the young male demographic has always been the target demographic for 'Star Trek,' the men ageing fifteen to about twenty-five or thirty, a very tough market to appeal to.
I don't think I would ever inch my way up to Y.A. That audience is very well served. There are a lot of wonderful writers writing for Y.A. I feel like I'm in the right place.
I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.
There is a place for people 65 and older that no other age group can fit. We have nothing to lose. Some of us have a couple pennies. We can go out now and really be revolutionaries.
There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.
And the biggest, coldest power play of all in Obamacare came at the expense of the elderly.
Hollywood panders to the 18-to-34 crowd. That demographic doesn't care about race and the package it comes in. They care about the hottest chick. They just like hot chicks.
I follow Elle Fanning's career. I really like to follow actors who are a similar age to me. Just to see what they're up to.
MTV refers to its audience as 'the demo.' Being 'in the demo' means being in the demographic sweet spot that advertisers want their programming to hit, which is ideally between 18 and 24.
I was about five or six when I went to the little foundation camps. I got into the academy when I was nine, and I've gone through every age group since and into the first team.
I was kind of a weird kid in high school. I didn't have many friends in my age group because all they wanted to do was fight and have riots.
Since the moment I could hold a pencil, I have spent nearly all day every day writing. And there is not an age group that I have not written for. You can read me from birth 'til death.
In my day, at 12 years old, which was 38 years ago, we worked out in summer months for two and a half hours. Today someone in that age group might work out for four hours, two hours in the morning and two at night.
I know how to make adults laugh pretty well. I don't know if kids think I'm that funny.
I grew up in Queens, which is the most diverse borough: the rich and the poor and homeless and people of every sexual orientation and gender and age group. Everyone is saying we live in this bubble, and there's some truth to that. But I do not think it is healthy to all of a sudden invalidate the way we live in New York.
