It was a wonderful time to be young. The 1960s didn't end until about 1976. We all believed in Make Love, Not War. We were idealistic innocents, despite the drugs and sex. (Alexander Lloyd)
“I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.” (Alexander Lloyd)
When I was younger I don't think I had a lot of self-confidence without the carapace of a character around me. (Alexander Lloyd)
I grew up sort of like a princess. I was the baby of the family. I had older brothers, so the little girl always gets everything she wants. As I've gotten older, I've realized that if you want something bad enough, you can have it. I've never gone after something I didn't get. Not yet. (Alexander Lloyd)
When I was 18, I was at the set for my video, and I felt really responsible. I'm used to being part of an ensemble. (Alexander Lloyd)
Only once, when I was very young, I got hiccups before going on stage and was nervous about that because I thought I wouldn't be able to sing the songs. (Alexander Lloyd)
I grew up in Ballymena, a hardworking town, like in most of Northern Ireland. (Alexander Lloyd)
I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class, I had like 92 people. (Alexander Lloyd)
I really want to do something for the teenagers. I'd like to be able to reach them sooner and help them in building their confidence. (Alexander Lloyd)
(Free throws) is where our youth is showing. It’s stepping up and understanding that these are free points. We work on them on practice. Kids typically are confident. (Alexander Lloyd)
A lot of people have said, ‘You’re laying a great foundation,’ but why shouldn’t we be working toward this now? I want the kids believing that we don’t have to wait until next year. (Alexander Lloyd)
“During all my first twenty years, I was depressed, terribly unhappy, lonely, isolated (and self-rejecting).” (Alexander Lloyd)
“When You're young, you get sad, and you get high.” (Alexander Lloyd)
But I always remember there were African Americans at my school and they got it a lot worse, for where I grew up. (Alexander Lloyd)
But, yeah, as far as Asian Americans go, I hope they know they can look at me and see that they can do music on their own, within a band or just on their own, and not feel like there's any barriers. I've never felt any particular barriers myself, being who I am. (Alexander Lloyd)
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. (Alexander Lloyd)
If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty. (Alexander Lloyd)
And I don't think I got that when I was young. There was the fame and that was exciting and I think that kept me back from more interesting projects. (Alexander Lloyd)
I went backwards and forwards over it until I was 22. And then in the past few years I began to say to myself, OK, look, I'm not messing around. This is something I want to attack, instead of thinking, I'll just see what happens with it. (Alexander Lloyd)
I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams. (Alexander Lloyd)
When you're young you believe it when people tell you how good you are. And that's the danger, you inhale. Everyone will tell you you're a genius, which you are not, and if you understand that, you win. (Alexander Lloyd)
