When people said schooldays were the best days of your life, I remember thinking: 'Tell me it's not true. This cannot be it.' I don't think my life has ever been that bad again. It hasn't always been easy but at least I have been free.
Oh, bein' young ain't easy 'cos ev'rythin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' you're puzzlin'n'anxin' it for the first time.
Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.
Oh, high is the price of parenthood, and daughters may cost you double. You dare not forget, as you thought you could, that youth is a plague and a trouble.
Just because I do what I do doesn't mean I escaped adolescence, all the bumps and bruises that go along with it.
I had my first girlfriend at 15. Life was difficult then.
I like to write about teenagers because it's such an uncertain and dramatic time.
Hard are life's early steps; and but that youth is buoyant, confident, and strong in hope, men would behold its threshold, and despair.
