I was a teenager in the 1970s and grew up in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

Jamal Khashoggi

I definitely did look back into the past when I was a teenager for transgender icons, like a famous model called Tula in the 1970s-'80s who starred as a 'Bond' girl.

I want to design clothes that I wish I could have worn when I was a teenager.

I wish I had been born 20 years earlier, so I could have been in the movie business in the 1970s.

Let your child be the teenager he or she wants to be, not the adolescent you were or wish you had been.

Laurence Steinberg

As a teenager, I didn't read a ton of teen fiction, and now I feel like I wish that I had.

Jesse Andrews

I felt cheated by the way grown-ups told me that the future of the world was bleak when I became a teenager in the 1970s. The pollution explosion was unstoppable. Global famine was inevitable. I genuinely want the next generation, my own kids, to know that actually it's possible that the future might be better than the past.

The experience of seeing a surf movie in the 1970s, as a teenager, and the energy in those theatres, was amazing. It was the only way to see people surfing. These guys would go out and make these surf movies and bring them to four-wall theatres. It was an incredible experience that I'll never forget.

The first thing I do every morning is make my bed. It's a habit I'm sure my parents wish I had picked up as a teenager instead of as an adult!

Andi Dorfman

The cliché I tried to avoid was I hated "teenage sidekicks." I always figured if I were a superhero, there's no way on God's earth that I'm gonna pal around with some teenager. So my publisher insisted I have a teenager in the series, because they always felt teenagers won't read the books unless there's a teenager in the story; which is nonsense.

Stan Lee

When I was a teenager, I was so dumb my mamma knocked me off the porch with a broom. You wish you had so good a mamma.

Deacon Jones

As a young child, being different is isolating, and as a teenager it's humiliating. I wish I had been able to stand out with more confidence when I was a child, and especially when I was a teenager. I was different, but it wasn't always a conscious choice, and it often made me miserable. But I'm all grown up now, and so are you. Today, difference is your strength, your power, and your trademark. It's your signature. It can still be difficult to be different--sometimes even harder than it used to be. Even so, it's time to embrace being yourself. It's time to be authentic.
