Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.

My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That's where I was. We're here right now. Tomorrow, we'll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?

I've become convinced that nostalgia is a fundamentally unhealthy modality. When you see it, it's usually attached to something else that's really, seriously bad. I don't traffic in nostalgia. We're becoming a global culture.

I don't do nostalgia. It just doesn't occur to me. I'm living in the moment, and I don't have that gene.

Nostalgia is something we think of as fuzzy. But it's pain. Pain concerning the past.

Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything.

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.

I have no time for the endless nostalgia: 'Oh gosh I used to . . . ' Life is too short; I don't have any time for sitting and saying I miss things. What's the point? Go and do something else.

I am a woman with absolutely no sense of nostalgia.

I am just pitifully nostalgic. I can't help but roll my eyes at myself frequently. I mean, I still shoot black-and-white film. And I am constantly reminiscing about the 'good old days.' I'm 28 years old. There haven't even been that many 'good old days.' But still, I love to look back.
