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?'
The ripeness of adolescence is prodigal in pleasures, skittish, and in need of a bridle.
What do you know when you're 19? I was just stomping around doing gigs.
That's why teenagers fascinate me - they're like children with drivers' licenses. Like children in that their impulses are so direct.
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.
Oh! Polly thought. Why aren't all girls locked up by law the year they turn fifteen? They do such stupid things!
