My focus has kind of been on teenagers, you know, and I think we've got a huge crisis right now in America, among our teens.

Everyone has an identity crisis when they are 16 or 17 years old.

My generation is having its midlife crisis in its 20s.

A lot of people struggle in their younger years, and I think people can relate to that.

It's bad timing, but a lot of kids become teenagers just as their parents are hitting their mid-life crisis. So everybody's miserable and confused and seeking that new sense of identity.

I feel I can really relate to a lot of young people.

So many young people are coming out of a generation that has experienced deep woundedness and brokenness, and they are full of life. They are eager to engage. They care about community, and they care about one another.

All generations of teens have it hard, I think. Each society and century has its struggles that the others can't compare to.

I'm so associated with being young and being with a teenager.

The mid-life crisis is just those times when you're not so into the things you were when you were younger.
