When people said schooldays were the best days of your life, I remember thinking: 'Tell me it's not true. This cannot be it.' I don't think my life has ever been that bad again. It hasn't always been easy but at least I have been free.
Oh, bein' young ain't easy 'cos ev'rythin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' it for the first time.
Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.
Just because I do what I do doesn't mean I escaped adolescence, all the bumps and bruises that go along with it.
Oh, high is the price of parenthood, and daughters may cost you double. You dare not forget, as you thought you could, that youth is a plague and a trouble.
I had my first girlfriend at 15. Life was difficult then.
I like to write about teenagers because it's such an uncertain and dramatic time.
Hard are life's early steps; and but that youth is buoyant, confident, and strong in hope, men would behold its threshold, and despair.
