Until the rise of American advertising, it never occurred to anyone anywhere in the world that the teenager was a captive in a hostile world of adults.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they're hardly teenagers.
It's never popular among young people to be part of the establishment.
The area of teenage life is not necessarily rarefied; we've all gone through that period. It's not as rarefied as a western or a space adventure or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic.
As a 13-year-old girl, it was never my intention to be the center of world news.
Nobody could emerge from a childhood at MGM unscathed.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man, youth never.
I wasn't hanging around the movie theaters in New York where I grew up, a Manhattan brat.
Most of us remember adolescence as a kind of double negative: no longer allowed to be children, we are not yet capable of being adults.
Teenagers are kinda the same wherever you find them in America.
I never got a chance to be a teenager.
