A lot of times, I get asked, 'Do you feel you have a responsibility to young girls to be a role model?' I don't see that happening as much to guys. I feel like, just because I'm a girl, I'm supposed to take more responsibility? Is that how it works?

I think it's important for us as a society to remember that the youth within juvenile justice systems are, most of the time, youths who simply haven't had the right mentors and supporters around them - because of circumstances beyond their control.

The youth is the hope of our future.

Having children truly ends adolescence. We are all either parents or children: responsibility-takers or those who demand from others.

I feel a responsibility to continue creating complex roles for black women, especially young black women.

Youth is really in your attitude, not in what you look like.

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.

Youth is an amazing thing: I think back on when we did The Lost Boys, and I didn't think I could do anything wrong.

I know I have a responsibility as a role model to children and I try to fulfill that.

I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.
