I get emotional when young people get nostalgic about my work. That's why it's called nostalgia. Sometimes I even cry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most childhoods are full of anxiety, but that tends to get smoothed over, so you have a sense of nostalgia.
Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything.
I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.
I am not among those who engage in nostalgia, because I think that locks you into a moment in time without thinking about where you are, what needs to be done now.
From about 5 years old on, I was very contemplative and started to become constantly filled with nostalgia for the present moment and the feeling that it's always fleeting.
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.
Nostalgia is when you want things to stay the same. I know so many people staying in the same place.
I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine.
I always make a distinction between nostalgia and sentimentality. Nostalgia is genuine - you mourn things that actually happened.
When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.
