I think when you're young, you're a lot more open-minded, and sometimes you're a lot more perceptive about what's going on in the world.

Young people understand the world. They should be listened to on matters of politics and world organization. But they know nothing of their own lives.

You can be young and still have views and opinions.

Living life at a young age is like being a sponge thrust into the ocean. You absorb what's around you. If you're around people who are supportive and positive, that's how you look at the world.

When you're young, you don't especially think of yourself as being young. You're just alive and everything's interesting and you don't think of things in terms of age because you're not conscious of it.

I think there's a lot of pressure on young people to really be the thing that everyone is telling them that they are, opposed to discovering it for themselves.

Something has to change in the world. Without change, young people will have no future.

People think that young people don't care about things, but I think they do care; they just aren't super interested in conforming to what older people think are the right way to do things.

In many ways, the young are more religiously minded than the older generations. I think it's the flip side of an age of individualism. Youngsters are not afraid to tell you what they think, to express their faith and be quite exuberant about it.

I think it's natural for youth to be drawn to newness: The world is still new for them.
