As a teenager, I was always this strange mixture of kind of vice-captain of the rugby team and sensitive artist type the rest of the time. I was sent away to this public school in the middle of nowhere, and I think we managed to completely miss out on normal youth culture.

Certainly this is a public affairs school, and he's a former president, but I think he really excited the youth movement when we were in high school.

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture.

Rock for Life's mission is to educate, activate, mobilize and unite the youth of our nation to fight the culture of death. Young activists from across the country will gather in our nation's capital this weekend to speak out against the assault on the most essential human right - the right to life.

When I was sent to public school, I was relieved that I could wear what I wanted to wear.

The crowd of influences streaming on the young soul is so great, the clods of barbarism and violence flung at him so strange and overwhelming, that an assumed stupidity is his only refuge.
