“[Eugene Smith] was always writing these diatribes about truth, and how he wanted to tell the truth, the truth, the truth. It was a real rebel position. It was kind of like a teenager's position: why can't things be like they should be? Why can't I do what I want? I latched on to that philosophy. One day I snapped, hey, you know, I know a story that no one's ever told, never seen, and I've lived it. It's my own story and my friends' story.” KnowsWantShouldWritingKindRealPhilosophyStoriesWantedMy OwnPositionOne DayMy FriendsHeyTeenagerTelling The TruthRebelHey You Author:Larry Clark

“When I was growing up, all the films about teenagers were played by Tony Curtis or John Cassavetes when they were 27, 28 years old. We would see these teenage movies in the theaters and I would say, "They don't look like they're my age at all." So I wanted to make a movie that was real and I wanted to make a movie that wasn't about me.” YearsLooksRealAgeWantedFilmGrowing UpGrowingTheaterTeenagerTeenage Author:Larry Clark
