In the family sandwich, the older people and the younger ones can recognize one another as the bread. Those in the middle are, for a time, the meat.
I had a ukulele when I was much younger. I have no idea what happened to it but I think that was part of it, just being inspired and wanting to try to play an instrument that, to me, sounded beautiful.
I had a rat-tail when I was younger. I had this nice Bobby Brown fade, with a rat-tail that was long enough to wrap around my face. I used to chew on the end and bite it.
My mother, Anne, was a cleaner and a shopkeeper. Out of economic necessity she had to hold down two jobs and she would take me and my older sisters, Dawn and Joanna, and my younger brother, David, with her when she cleaned houses.
The younger generation is surrounded by the Internet, apps, and video games. But somehow, my books make them read.
I think I had a mild case of Asperger’s as a younger guy, but that typically just wears off after a while.
My brothers are both 6 ft. 5 in., and if you have younger brothers who are bigger than you then you have to learn the ancient martial art of sarcasm.
I don’t want to go too deep, but football and ‘Dragon Ball Z’ were the two things that, when I was going through a hard time when I was younger, kind of gave me an escape.
It is a tremendous honor to be named poet laureate, but one that I find humbling as well, because it’s the kind of thing that makes me feel like – even as it’s been bestowed upon me – I must continue to live up to what it means… Being the younger laureate in the age of social media is a new challenge.
When I was younger, I had some close friends who always loved European football, and Real Madrid at that time were the dominant force. I remember family holidays when we used to go to Spain, and we’d bring back replica shirts of Real Madrid and pretend to be the players when we played in the park.
When I’m 80 and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the Rolling Stones, there is absolutely no way I’m going to feel old or forget my younger days.
I prefer younger men. In some ways, they are much more open to a woman being stronger and independent then some of the men my age.
By joining Common Goal, I hope I can encourage the younger generation of players to think about social responsibility in their lives.
My loyalty was questioned for a long time when I was younger, and that’s understandable. I found it very difficult to conform and I wanted to do it all my way.
I guess I say this for younger actors out there: you have to be brave, and you have to be ready to fail, and that’s the only way you can be unique. So when a director is confident enough in what they’re doing, and they allow their actors to be brave and bring in stuff, the more likely it’s going to work out okay.
I have two younger brothers, and I know my parents have spoken to them about driving and interacting with police. They didn’t have those conversations with me, but they did have conversations about being exceptional black people.
My brother Trevor is theatrically trained. I used to watch him when I was younger and I was in love with it. It just seemed really fun to be someone else. So I begged my mom; she was hesitant, but she eventually allowed me. And it turned out well, I guess.
If I could talk to my younger self, I would just say that the path to great things is filled with a lot of stumbles, suffering, and challenges along the way. But if you have the right attitude and know that hard times will pass – and you get up each time – you will reach your destination.
Carey Mulligan and Felicity Jones are two of my favorites. I’m not so much younger than them. I like that. It’s kind of aspirational.
It would have been very impossible to deal with this attention when I was younger. I’m thrilled with the success, but at this point I also think it’s hilariously silly.
When I was younger, I wouldn’t speak up as much, but now that I’m a mom, things have changed.
I had a lot of vocal problems when I was younger. I don’t know if it’s down to leading a healthier lifestyle or what but my range has increased.

You can’t help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.
I always liked clothes when I was younger, but I never really dove into it.
I don’t miss scenes at all the way that I used to miss them when I was younger making a film. It’s actually quite fun to get rid of them now.
I think every athlete should give back to schools. I know athletes donate and have things that they give charity to, but, at the end of the day, it’s the younger generation that we need to be helping.
I enjoy my relationship with straight men. It’s very nurturing. It’s very validating to hang out with straight guys and be accepted. So many of us, we were not accepted when we were younger by straight persons in high school.
The younger generation is essentially idealistic. This applies to the Iranian youth as well. In addition, the youth in Iran face certain difficulties… the Iranian youth need more freedom. They are struggling for more freedom and democracy. This commands great respect.
When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.
I definitely, when I was younger, struggled a little to understand my identity and who I wanted to be.
The thing with playing live is, most of the audience is in their 20s and 30s. If you’re older than that, you don’t tend to go out to shows anymore. So it’s good if you can attract a younger audience because they’ve got the energy to get up off the sofa and go out.
When I was younger, I acted in some Shakespeare stuff; I did one Shakespeare camp.
As a teenager, even as a younger girl, I had some depression but no one really noticed that it was depression nor did I know in those days that that’s what it was but I did feel different from other people.
When I was younger, I used to try to fit in, but now I’m much more comfortable with just being myself.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.
It really is an honor if I can be inspirational to a younger singer or person. It means I’ve done my job.
I’m accepting I’m not living that younger, dreamed version of myself in the big city.
I was always one step behind Marilyn. She made all the right moves, hung out with the right people who could advance her career. I was just the opposite. I was always breaking dates with moguls and running off with guys younger than myself.
When I was younger, I thought I was too young to really be personal. I thought that what I was feeling and thinking might be half-baked.
I remember being on film sets when I was younger, and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff too,’ which is what happened when we did ‘Charlie’s Angels.’ Starting my production company was a big turning point for me.
You just have this freedom when you’re younger – this lack of concern to fail or do anything wrong. It comes with an ease that I’ve found has kind of deteriorated over time.
In hindsight, if I could go back in time and relay a message to my younger self, I would tell him to work on his time keeping, and that the job of a drummer is not to be the one that gets noticed the most on stage, or to be the fastest, or the loudest. Above all, it is to be the timekeeper.
I like understanding what’s underneath, what’s really motivating people. When I was younger, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, so I think it has to do with that.
One of the things that make our version that much more heartbreaking is that even though I am playing a 24-year-old I look much younger. I look like a child.
When I was younger, my favorite wrestlers were Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho. I relate to them. I don’t know what it was.

Cats 25 years younger can’t run with me.
I’d say we do reach somewhat of a younger audience, but I think for the most part that younger audience is picking our music up from a brother or sister or even parent, who is turning them onto the band.
I think it is so important to pass down knowledge and information to younger generations.
Most of the younger people I knew didn’t seem to have a handle on things; they hadn’t found their place, they didn’t understand how the world works, they didn’t understand how to treat other people, and they didn’t know how to stop thinking about themselves.
I do so many things. Like when I was younger, if I drove past a house that I didn’t want to live in, I’d hold my breath. Driving around somewhere like Slough I’d go blue in the face.
I always date younger men. For some reason that’s just the way it’s gone, because younger guys have always asked me out and I accept.
Oh well, when I was younger I was known for breaking hearts. I am the kind of person that falls passionately in love but then a couple of months down the line, I fall out of love.
