When I was younger and studying acting, I never ever saw myself in the sitcom world; it was drama that really turned me on and still does.
You’re talking about a younger generation, Generation Y, whose interpersonal communication skills are different from Generation X. The younger generation is more comfortable saying something through a digital mechanism than even face to face.
When I was younger, I actually wanted to be in the spotlight. To have people want me, want to have a piece of me.
There’s this certain caliber of dancing I was striving for when I was younger, and it’s very hard for me to go back and just do it for fun. But I take all other kinds of classes: I take jazz classes, modern classes, and I love doing that instead of going to the gym. The gym is not very much fun.
I love when I go to conventions, and often it’ll be the younger kids who will refer to us by our character names – how can you not find that absolutely charming? I remember when I used to go to conventions when I was a kid when I would stand in long lines to get people’s autograph.
When you’re younger – duh – you don’t really have the tools to deal with certain things in your life.
I feel great. I feel younger. And I don’t feel anything at all. I don’t know who knows, but right now I’m, how, how many years have I, fifty five, something like that. Forty three years old. And I feel like seventeen, like twenty five years ago.
Parents who wonder where the younger generation is going should remember where it came from.
When I was younger, I’d always cry on Christmas Day, and I didn’t know why. Now I know it’s because I was just overwhelmed by the togetherness.
When I was younger, my family would go camping and fishing on our ranches. My dad loves being around all kinds of animals. He’s the one who got me to be a really big animal lover.
When I was younger, it was so much easier. All I needed to do was just get a job. It was like, ‘Oh, my God, I have a job! I can call myself a working actor.’ But then, the older you get, you have to be more selective, and that’s tough.
When I was younger I was obsessed with writing, so even if I wanted to listen, I didn’t have time.
One thing I wish I could tell my younger self: take photos of everyday life, not special occasions; later, that’s what will be interesting to you.
When you’re younger, you have ideas and visions of what you’re going to be like when you’re older and what love is going to be like and who you’re gonna be married to and all of these different things.
I get younger people who watch Conan or The Daily Show, but before that it was mostly people who knew me from public radio. Those people are kind of old.

Maybe at this stage in my career, it’s from that younger generation that I have most to learn.
I’ve always drawn, for example, and I did consider when I was younger, it was either do I become an actor or do I become an animator cartoonist at that point. Do I work at Disneyworld or something and do animated cells or something?

A relatively young woman is perceived as younger than a relatively young man.

I adored my brother when I was younger, so I wanted to do everything he did.
I’d never have imagined it when I was younger. A trans woman on the cover of ‘Time?’ That is unfathomable to the 15-year-old me.
When I was younger, Big Bang didn’t go on many variety programs, so we used to try and plan many fun events for our concert, like drama parodies, which Korean fans enjoyed.
