I'm terribly nostalgic, but I'm with the Elizabethans who thought nostalgia was a disease. It's a dangerous place to be because you can get caught up in it.
It's so easy for 16-year-olds, including myself, to say, 'I just wish I were an adult.' But we can't wish our lives away. When we're adults, we'll say, 'I wish I were 16 again.'
The wish fulfillment of growing younger is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. You have new problems that arise which you are not anticipating and you deal with the same problems you would deal with if you were ageing normally: what is the end of life about? What have I accomplished?
I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
I've never been nostalgic, personally or politically - if the past was so great, how come it's history?
I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.
I don't do nostalgia. It just doesn't occur to me. I'm living in the moment, and I don't have that gene.
I hate nostalgia, I want nothing to do with it.
