I think it's hard, the fact that there's a certain age that we can't have kids anymore.
I started off from a very early age listening to music - all the usual cheesy stuff that little kids like.
I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.
Being a lazy parent and letting your kid watch stuff that's not appropriate for their age is one of the bigger mistakes you can make.
Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.
I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.
If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing.
I walk into a kids' store, and it's amazing, the types of instruments - little squeaky things, rattling things, spinning tops.
We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.
I wasn't a very academic kid, and music was the way for all that feeling and angst and sex and love and anger to be channelled.
Because the stuff that they feed kids now, they'll have a bunch of idiots in the next millennium as far as art and culture is concerned.
The art schools... you get young kids doing the most vile and meaningless crap. I think they believe every bit of it.
Irony is the kid who steals music and is stolen by the music.
It was like being at an Arabian hoedown with a band of psychedelic hillbillies (p. 171).
Who can know the heart of youth but youth itself?
My point is, life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The pina and the colada.
The kid was so handsome, he almost looked unreal.
Dogs are like kids. Cats are like roommates.
Probably the best part of my life has been watching the kids play their games.
Call waiting was, for me, that was like the best invention ever, because there was four kids in my family, and to get on the phone was impossible.
Parents are key when it comes to keeping kids off drugs. Good parenting is the best anti-drug we have.
