When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek. Now it's a point of pride in a weird way.
I don't wanna be a Londoner! Growing up, that was hell - being one of them kids who wears Air Force 1s and that. It made me feel sick.
I'm the middle-class kid; it doesn't sound exciting, but a lot of my audience is middle-class kids.
I know that my kids are big 'Turtles' fans because there's been this resurgence, especially with the new series on Nickelodeon.
I am a kid from the '70s, when video games first started coming out, so I definitely have to say I am a video game junkie to this day.
My biggest influences when I was a kid - I listened to a lot of top 40 radio, so whatever the big artists were, so, like, the mid-'80s.
I never saw a Laurel & Hardy movie in a theater when they first ran, when I was a kid. But as a child, I knew who they were, and knew the culture of it, what they meant.
I think when I first started cycling, it wasn't that popular with kids. I felt almost embarrassed going down the road on my road bike; I didn't want my friends to see me because it was embarrassing.
I know black kids who don't even know any other black kids except their cousins. And that's enough. You wouldn't look at these kids and say that they are Uncle Toms or self-hating or fleeing or trying to be white, given the culture in which they live, which is very natural to them as kids.
When I was a kid if you didn't have "Lil" in front of your name, you were trash.
Grime reminds me, if there is an echo, of sort of near enough like Liverpool in the very early Sixties. It's a lot of kids obsessed with music - obsessed with it.
I was the kid jamming out to the songs on the radio, and now there's hopefully kids out there jamming out to my music.
I was a kid of the '90s, so I was always inspired by Gwen Stefani, especially the 'Spider Web' video.
I started off from a very early age listening to music - all the usual cheesy stuff that little kids like.
I was crazy for music as a high school kid and a college kid.
No one wants to be the kid who allies with the weird kid.
If you were a kid in the 1950s, and you got nightmares from a story in a horror comic book, you have Al Feldstein to blame. If you were a kid in the '60s or '70s, giggling at 'MAD's prankster wit, you have Feldstein to thank.
The term 'Sock it to me!' was a big, big thing in our neighborhood - all the kids were saying it.
I grew up loving Pee-wee Herman. I was obsessed. I was the kid at school who everyone knew was obsessed with Pee-Wee.
The interesting part is that most of the kids I speak to have grown up watching 'Full House', so they feel like they know me and can talk to me.
Well, Luce, my dear, you may have gone to boarding school parties, but you've never seen a throw-down like reform school kids do it.
I can't walk in a toy store in a foreign country without seeing a kid with a minion backpack.
I'm never interested in movies where you don't care about the people you're watching, and that's my biggest quibble about horror, that kids have gotten stupider and stupider.
Look at the growing number of people that want to ban football. Or ban anything that might hurt somebody. Too violent or too brutal or what have you. There's a segment of our adult population that's still children, still kids.
