As a unique person, I was bullied badly as a teen.
I'm so fascinated by the concept of teen pregnancy for some reason. Not that I condone it or promote it, but it's just a very real thing in our country and culture.
Katy Perry still gets me every time. She's very funny in person! We met at the Teen Choice Awards and she pulled my cheeks apart and told me how cute I was. My life was literally flashing before my eyes!
Hollywood has glorified adult premarital sex, and that is unhelpful if your goal is to reduce teen pregnancy and out-of-wedlock births.
It hasn't been until the last couple years that I've started playing close to my age. But it's fun playing the younger roles because it takes you back to the teen years.
I was a typical teen growing up in the 1960s, when everybody was into gurus and meditation.
I don't think there's a problem with being a teen idol, if that happens to me, I'll be happy to deal with it.
And finally, I just felt it was crucial for some of us in the hip hop community to speak up on the issues of teen suicide, bullying, and the overall anti-homosexual sentiment that exist within hip hop culture. I felt so strongly about these issues and this song that I had to do a video that would command some attention, even if it makes some viewers uncomfortable.
When I got near teen age, I was so happy with my friends and the African-American culture that I couldn't imagine not being part of it.
When I was growing up, particularly during puberty in my teen years, I was so miserable because I elicited so much teasing and meanness from my teenage cohorts.
The phrase 'teen hottie' literally makes me want to throw up. I'm a pop princess at heart. Pop is about distilling what you want to say and making it easy. And the way I write isn't about making things easy. It's a weird juxtaposition.
I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away. I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again. . . . I don't want to do this for the rest of my life. . . . I don't want to spend the rest of my youth doing this in this industry. There's so much I want to discover.
I was a teen star. That's disgusting enough.
Final Destination was the closest thing I've done to a teen movie but it certainly had an edge to it.
As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.
Farm policy, although it's complex, can be explained. What it can't be is believed. No cheating spouse, no teen with a wrecked family car, no mayor of Washington, D. C. , videotaped in flagrante delicto has ever come up with anything as farfetched as U. S. farm policy.
I'm a teen distortion, survived abortion.
I'd never made a teen comedy in my life.
In Cancún, I felt like I had walked into an American teen movie.
We won a contest at the teen fair in Vancouver and the first prize was a recording contract and we recorded at a radio station on the stairway, and we did a record and it got put out.
