Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you're not sure about certain things talk to your friends that you trust and your family.

I didn't want to be the typical teen idol. I didn't want to be Leif Garrett. I didn't want to be Shaun Cassidy David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing.

Trouble is kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.

To an adolescent there is nothing in the world more embarrassing than a parent.

As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.

Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.

I wanted to be a pilot. I loved flying and I loved all the technology and the equipment and the sense of adventure that came with it. I think that feeling still bleeds over into everything I do today.

Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own if it doesn't the thing collapses.

The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals.

The most essential thing for us was to get the business model right then put the world-class technology under it to support it. At Merrill that meant not doing what people expected.

The personal contact is a personal thing. The fact that some people don't know their neighbors I don't think that technology is at fault. You don't lose anything with technology. You gain other avenues of understanding.

Technology makes things faster and more cost-effective but it's not perfect. It requires you to be as flexible as you can be.

It's so exciting to be doing radio on the cutting edge of technology. Being in on something new is the biggest thrill in the world.

You can't stop technology or science and it is snowballing quicker than ever. Something's got to come to a head. How? Who knows? But it will.

We are so reliant on power and technology for everything.

The best museums and museum exhibits about science or technology give you the feeling that hey this is interesting but maybe I could do something here too.

New technology is useful but it's inefficient and ugly it knows it'll be obsolete by lunchtime tomorrow so it has no incentive to be anything else.

I have the instruments ideas technology computer techniques. We try to create or see something which has not been known before - just to discover something together. This is always my dream.

This really is a merger of equals. I wouldn't have come back to work for anything less than this fantastic opportunity. This lets me combine my two great loves - technology and biscuits.

This technology will obviously become more prevalent. Who knows what will result? One thing is certain computer technology will revolutionize the way we tell stories as much as movie film has.

My wife handles all of our technology. So if something goes wrong with the computer I throw up my arms and step aside while the IT gal figures it out.

The technology of the time dictated the way things looked.

The thing that's changed the most has just been the rapid technology.

Technology isn't the enemy it is our ally but only if we adopt a new model that puts people before profit. I realize that we seem far from that model but I have seen it in action and it is a beautiful thing. So I'm not willing to give up yet. Hope is the last thing to die.
