Dress codes and gestures and attitudes have always inspired me, as has youth culture in general, although now I question it more. If you analyze youth cultures over history, there has always been something strict about them - you have to be like this or like that.

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture.

Rock for Life's mission is to educate, activate, mobilize and unite the youth of our nation to fight the culture of death. Young activists from across the country will gather in our nation's capital this weekend to speak out against the assault on the most essential human right - the right to life.

I like books that explore identity and youth culture or rites of passage.

L.A. interests me, the whole band scene and relaxed carefree feel, but it does not mean you have to dress like a hippy.

The crowd of influences streaming on the young soul is so great, the clods of barbarism and violence flung at him so strange and overwhelming, that an assumed stupidity is his only refuge.
