I got a car when I was 16. I didn't even have a driver's license.
I look back on being 17 and think, 'Oh my God, how did I not die?'
What do you know when you're 19? I was just stomping around doing gigs.
The ripeness of adolescence is prodigal in pleasures, skittish, and in need of a bridle.
As a teenager, I wanted to be sophisticated and avant-garde, and I was really judgmental. But when you're a teenager, you're fearless because you don't know the repercussions to anything.
That's why teenagers fascinate me - they're like children with drivers' licenses. Like children in that their impulses are so direct.
Oh! Polly thought. Why aren't all girls locked up by law the year they turn fifteen? They do such stupid things!
