• Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. Not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. What I’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.

• Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
  And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams
  All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
  Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled
  Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
  About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate, about meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
  Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me.

• I preferred that option, where my camera (and by proxy, me) could look them straight in the eye. The way they reacted to me was always interesting. Sometimes hard young men would reveal vulnerability and a softer side. In the case of teenage girls, I often got a fascinating glimpse of the woman inside.
