It is inevitable that many ideas of the young mind will later have to give way to the hard realities of life.

Young people are this awesome, creative, hopeful untapped resource out there.

I just believe that the way that young people's minds develop is fascinating. If you are doing something for a grade or salary or a reward, it doesn't have as much meaning as creating something for yourself and your own life.

I think the reason why a lot of young people are such screw ups... is oftentimes they didn't have the luxury I had of forming important relationships and opinions and life experiences before having success.

I think young people are the most creative and the coolest - people that we should be learning from. Even when I'm at a party, I'm analyzing it and thinking about it in the context of how I would write about it. That side of me never switches off.

You can really learn a lot from young people and the way they view the world.

I think I started to have thoughts to really want to be serious about my work when I was about twenty-five, and I just kind of started to look into that direction and moved into it.

In my youth, I found that I was quite often inspired and pushed forward by what I read.

I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.

What's amazing is, if young people understood how doing well in school makes the rest of their life so much interesting, they would be more motivated. It's so far away in time that they can't appreciate what it means for their whole life.
