Age Quote by Taylor Russell
“Coming of age movies are like perfect recipes for messiness, because everything's happening for the first time in your body, in your brain, and it's the perfect storm. You're reflecting on how you feel about the world - your family, your friends, and yourself, mostly, since we all think about ourselves more than anyone else as teenagers.”
