I was just blown away by everything my dad was doing, every play. It was amazing to be able to go as a young person to the theater and see these visuals and how creative it could be. More than anything it was realizing you could do that as a life pat...
'Yosemite' opened doors for me in the New York theater community in amazing ways. There's a whole world of fearless young theater makers here who put shows together on a shoestring budget and with gigantic hearts.
After 'A Perfect Storm' came out, I heard from a young reader, who had suffered a similar background as 'Arizona,' that I had helped her to find peace. That was the most amazing thing in the world to me.
You know, 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young, and it was a show about old people, and it was a very traditional show, but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.
As a kid, I always loved serialized books. It's the reason why people love 'Harry Potter.' Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when you're a young kid, you get attached to these charact...

It seems likely that many of the young who don't wait for others to call them artists, but simply announce that they are, don't have the patience to make art.
I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.
The word "ungodly and word-group" in Jude...It describes, not theoretical atheism, but practical godlessness.
The young accept the extraordinary as normal because they do not compare their lives with those of others when everyone is like them.
And there they ring the walls, the young, the lithe. The handsome hold the graves they won in Troy; the enemy earth rides over those who conquered.
Sometimes it's only the young ones who are crazy enough to change the world.
I have been using polka dots since I was a very young child. Only after that, it seems, have they been used throughout the rest of the art world.
Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

Question: You’re 21-years-old, a young adult writing mature adult literary fiction. Imaj: Yes, I feel creativity is an ageless thing.
How unfortunate is the guy who does not live in the extravagant memory of an infatuated young woman.
We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.
