Writing for young children I find I often use particular jokes with words and exaggerated, funny events, but some of these haunt the more complex stories for older children too.
I have so much more to go through as a young lady. But oh my God. I feel like I can do anything.
Ever since I was young, I was always interested in exploring spirituality. I know that there are many paths to God, there is not just one path.
The atmosphere at my school was very competitive. Young girls were competing with each other every day for status, for leadership, for the affection of the teachers. I hated it.
If I had married someone wealthy when I was young, I would have sunk like a stone. Being skint makes life quite clear. You've got to take that job.
A lot of young actresses have a hard time combining a reasonable love life with a career.
I think the happiest time of my life was when I was in my late teens. I was a little bit of an it-girl. Making myself seen. And it was a wonderful time to be young.
Young people especially sometimes feel that the standards of the Lord are like fences and chains, blocking them from those activities that seem most enjoyable in life.

I love athletics. As an athlete, I like to believe I can still do the things I used to do when I was once young.
I was always falling in and out of love. I was engaged when I was 16 to the first guy I ever dated, but my father told him I was too young.

I'd love to open up sessions at a Boys and Girls Club or something where kids can learn nutrition and how to exercise in a fun way. Especially for young guys. I'd love to be an inspiration.
