One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination.

As you get older, you're doing different parts, but the young people, like yourself, they keep you excited, because they'll see Waterfront, and they'll want to talk about it.

Since I was 10 years old, I knew I wanted to sail around the world.

That is how it stiffens, my vision of that seaside childhood. My father died; we moved inland. Whereon those nine first years of my life sealed themselves off like a ship in a bottle - beautiful, inaccessible, obsolete: a fine, white, flying myth.

When you're put in a position to really affect young people who are going to run the world one day, if you're able to be in their life at a young age and make a positive impact, I think that's a beautiful thing.

That young people don't have valid thoughts about the world because they haven't been alive long enough is sadly a very popular and, frankly, unoriginal sentiment. When I think about that time, I was just responding to the world around me.

Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.

Young people should travel, and they don't. You can't know if you don't go.

Telling a teenager the facts of life is like giving a fish a bath.

When you are young your imagination is so clear.
