I can have a song with Ariana Grande that is going to be the song for all the kids and the teen girls, and then another song that could be for a different group of people who all love the song. I’m with whoever. Whatever type of people want to love the music and whatever they love about the music is fine with me. – Mac Miller
Obviously when you’re a teen you have no money, so you make, like, three outfits out of one dress. You’re like, ‘OK cut the arms here. Alright: New party, cut them to here.’ – Marina and the Diamonds
There’s a theory about fame: the moment it strikes, it arrests development. Michael Jackson remained suspended in childhood, enjoying sleepovers and funfairs; Winona Ryder, an errant teen who dabbled in shoplifting and experimented with pills; George Clooney, a 30-year-old commitment-phobe, never quite ready yet to settle down. – Jemima Khan
It’s important to me that I don’t get trapped in the whole teen scene, because I feel that you can get lost in those kind of movies, and they aren’t really about the actors; they’re about the selling of the concept, and how much money it makes. – Kirsten Dunst
There’s an indie movie I did called ‘Fat Kid Rules the World,’ which was based on a teen book, and it’s a fabulous story, and hopefully it’ll go to theaters because it is an amazing story. – Lili Simmons
I see it as more of a teenage activity than, you know, she’s only 11, but you know, I think it’s great that she knows so many girls who want to play music. And I see it more as a teen activity than I do as going into music. – Kim Gordon
I have always had a sense that we are all pretty much alone in life, particularly in adolescence. – Robert Cormier
When I started out as a music journalist, at the end of the 1980s, it was generally assumed that we were living through the lamest music era the world would ever see. But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded, beatbox disco soared, indie rock took off, and new wave invented a language of teen angst. – Rob Sheffield
If a movie isn’t a hit right out of the gate, they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy. – Roger Ebert
I’ve been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It’s very important to give back as a youth. It’s as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant. – Queen Latifah
Of course Stephen King doesn’t believe in teen novels. I’ve started to suspect he doesn’t even believe in teenagers. – Robin Wasserman
This is actually something no one knows, but my mom was really the one who created the entire style for ‘Teen Witch.’ I’m dead serious. – Robyn Lively
They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time. – Rick Springfield
Maybe that’s the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot. – Rider Strong
Teen fiction should be about teenagers – no matter how many arguments there are about what YA lit should be, this seems like the one thing we can all agree on. – Robin Wasserman
This is actually something no one knows, but my mom was really the one who created the entire style for ‘Teen Witch.’ I’m dead serious. She was super involved, and is super creative, so I wore a lot of my actual clothes in the movie. Truly, Louise was my mom’s vision. She really created an iconic character. – Robyn Lively
I think there’s actually a benefit to working with teen actors: they’ve got such boundless energy, and everybody is willing to try different things. – Peyton Reed
‘Teen Beach Movie’ was a lot of fun because we were in Puerto Rico on an island – you can’t even call it work! – Ross Lynch
I took high school very casually. There was Teen Town, chess, tennis, boxing, running. Lots of things going on. – Robert Mundell
I just felt being part of my peer group so strongly. I was immersed in teen culture, but not taken in by it. – S. E. Hinton
Lesley Gore’s part-time field was pop singer, and in her brief but urgent prime, she was the Queen of Teen Angst. She endured heartbreak as a birthday girl betrayed by her beau in ‘It’s My Party,’ savored revenge in the sequel ‘Judy’s Turn to Cry’ and belted the proto-feminist anthem ‘You Don’t Own Me.’ – Richard Corliss
I just fell into the job as a fashion editor at a teen magazine. I was there for two years, and I left there as a senior fashion editor at the age of 25. – Rachel Zoe
I remember the first time I saw the ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ video. I will never forget that day. I just wanted to see Kurt Cobain’s face. I had a feeling he was very cute. But, I couldn’t see his face. When I finally did see him, he was even cuter than I imagined! – Shakira
