Youth is a blossom whose fruit is love; happy is he who plucks it after watching it slowly ripen.
Another thing I recall was falling in love with Shirley Temple when I was nine or ten.
Childhood romances always seem so real, so enduring, when we are separated from the object of our affection. But usually, when we return, we find that our dreams and memories quiet surpassed reality. -Lady Anne, Whitney's aunt
I still get very excited when people say they fall in love. It doesn’t matter how old you are, falling in love is a beautiful thing. And I still act like I did when I was a teenager. I get fluttery and tap dance around. I’m never afraid of making funny faces or being completely goofy.
The great romance of your youth is your best friend at that age.
Director Park always talked to me about her in a very innocent way, that the story was of her coming of age and her sexual awakening and her going from girl to woman and that she had the same desires and hopes as other young people in terms of being very infatuated, which comes in the form of her uncle, which is very unconventional.
My first crush was this kid in kindergarten who told me he had tigers in his attic as well.
When you're young, everything seems like a romance. At 96, I can still feel romantic about publishing young unknown writers.
