“I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst...” — Jamie Bell Quote

I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst.

I tap dance.

Every interview I do, it's basically 'how did he do it,' and I owe it all to my representation, and my manager is basically like my mother, she's so picky.

I've just been blessed to work with these really great people.

Tap dancing is all about the feet; you put your head down and don't really engage with anything but the rhythm in your head.

I was so catty about pop music as a teen, but it wasn't fair of me to judge it the same way I judge, like, Radiohead. Pop music is pop music.

I'm a comic nerd. I'm a former serious collector for much of my childhood and early teen years I wanted to draw underground comics.

'Awkward' is a ubiquitous teen word to denote socially unsanctioned behavior. It usually implies first- or secondhand embarrassment when you or a friend step outside the rules. Awkward doesn't sound overtly judgmental or negative; it's deliberately vague.

All teenagers have this desire to somehow run away.

I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions, whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.
