Adult Quotes

The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It’s taken me a long time Picture Quote #1

There wasn’t much as a kid that inspired me in what I did as an adult, but I was always very interested in what motivates people, and in telling stories and building things Picture Quote #1

Adult characters are all the things they’ve encountered over time. But kids haven’t accumulated all the life experience, all the regrets. They tend to be more in the moment, more willing to play, to be joyful Picture Quote #1

As a child. I grew up on a small farm, so I did a lot of drawings of animals, chickens and people. At the bottom of every page, I’d put a strange scribble. I was emulating adult handwriting, though I didn’t actually know how to write Picture Quote #1

I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places Picture Quote #1

Back when I taught middle school and wrote adult mysteries, my students often asked me why I wasn’t writing for kids. I never had a good answer for them. It took me a long time to realize they were right Picture Quote #1

All my adult life, if I didn’t have several hours a day to sit in a room by myself, I would get antsy and irritable Picture Quote #1

The adult way to run a business is to run it more like a country. They have disputes, yet they’ve actually been able to have huge trade with each other. They’re not sending bombs at each other Picture Quote #1

For an adult, the world is constantly trying to clamp down on itself. Routine, responsibility, decay of institutions, corruption: this is all the world closing in Picture Quote #1

Once you have done with school, you realise that it is just a smaller version of life, and really I have felt that I should have been an adult since I was aged about five Picture Quote #1

I’m not concerned with people seeing me in a certain way. Some people see me as a kid, some people see me as an adult. But I’m seriously not going to complain how anybody sees me, as long as they see me Picture Quote #1

True respect means taking other people’s beliefs seriously and assuming they are adult and intelligent enough to be able to cope with it if you tell them, clearly and civility, why you think they are totally, utterly and disastrously wrong Picture Quote #1

There are some themes, some subjects, too large for adult fiction; they can only be dealt with adequately in a children’s book Picture Quote #1

It is the responsibility of every adult... to make sure that children hear what we have learned from the lessons of life and to hear over and over that we love them and that they are not alone Picture Quote #1

I’ve been fighting my entire adult life for men and women everywhere to be equal and to be different. But there is one right I would not grant anyone. And that is the right to be indifferent Picture Quote #1

Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I’ve decided, is only a slow sewing shut Picture Quote #1

And then there is the universal role of adult. When you play that role, you take yourself and life very seriously. Spontaneity, lightheartedness, and joy are not part of that role Picture Quote #1

We loved each other with a premature love, marked by a fierceness that so often destroys adult lives Picture Quote #1

She couldn’t be on his wavelength all the time. That’s all. When you could recognize that and deal with it, you were on your way to an adult relationship Picture Quote #1

Kids who don’t eavesdrop on adult conversations are doomed to a childhood of ignorance Picture Quote #1

Evolution is not a genetically controlled distortion of one adult form into another; it is a genetically controlled alteration in a developmental program Picture Quote #1

A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world Picture Quote #1

I believe I want adult sanity, which seems to me the only unalloyed form of heroism available today Picture Quote #1

Her life was monotonous, but it kept her out of trouble... This, her father would say, was called being an adult Picture Quote #1

Sometimes being an adult means doing the right thing, even if it’s not what you want Picture Quote #1

The realisation of one’s own death is the point at which one becomes adult Picture Quote #1

I thought being an adult meant knowing what you believe, but that has not been my experience Picture Quote #1
