3. I can have a song with Ariana Grande that is going to be the song for all the kids and the teen girls, and then another song that could be for a different group of people who all love the song.

Because I'll pay for quality, but I will not just pay for trend. Psychologically, I have trouble with that. - Ivanka Trump

24. With any teen show, there's going to be drama and heartache. - Lili Reinhart

There's a few of them that make it out and a few of them that don't. - Kid Rock

32. 'Teen Vogue' fortunately has proved you can have smart, political, and fashionable content delivered in one place, and you don't have to choose. - Elaine Welteroth
33. As a teen, every major moment was preempted by a torturous, hours-long hair-straightening session. Sleek, silky strands made me feel prettier. And the truth is, I was completely clueless about how to deal with my curls! When they weren't flat ironed into submission for special occasions, they were practically glued down with gobs of gel. - Elaine Welteroth
34. It's fun to sniff and slather on beauty products, but the end goal is finding what appeals most to 'Teen Vogue' readers and reporting on it in the most compelling way. - Elaine Welteroth

36. 'Teen Vogue' is so much more than just a magazine. It's so much more than just a website. It's so much more than social. It's really about the audience, and so we're going to continue to innovate and continue to find new ways of reaching this audience in meaningful ways. - Elaine Welteroth

38. I think I'm trouble-adjacent. I remember hearing once that good girls don't get caught. I think that's sort of a lot of what my teen years were like.

40. At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers! - John Hughes
41. I hate it when people call me a teen queen. - Lindsay Lohan
42. In our country, being from immigrant parents, growing up black in the South, coming out at 16 years old, being a teen parent... you would assume that my life would amount to nothing. And here I stand today. So, if I can do it... you can, too! - Karamo Brown
43. There's a freshness to the approach of teen chefs. They're lighthearted, and they're not afraid to take risks. - Alex Guarnaschelli
