Grew Quotes

I grew up in a joint family of 60 people with one kitchen. So I am a firm believer in the family concept Picture Quote #1

Addams Family blew my mind because it was the first time I was in L.A. and Hollywood, and I grew up a huge fan of movies Picture Quote #1

The faith I was born into formed me. I come from a missionary family - I grew up in China - and in my case, my religious upbringing was positive. Of course, not everyone has this experience.

I would hate to think I’m promoting sadness as an aesthetic. But I grew up in not just a family but a town and a culture where sadness is something you’re taught to feel shame about. You end up chronically desiring what can be a very sentimental idea of love and connection. A lot of my work has been about trying to make a space for sadness Picture Quote #1

When I look back, I’m glad I grew up in a small town. There, it’s just you, your family and whatever you make of it Picture Quote #1

My sister is older than me and would often go off, so I grew up alone in a sense. I had to amuse myself and developed a wonderful fantasy world and quite happily lived in it. I think, in adulthood, that helped me. I love pottering on my own Picture Quote #1

We instinctively fear snakes, but we appear not to be afraid of fast cars, which are a real danger now. This suggests our emotions were shaped by our evolutionary environment not the one we grew up in Picture Quote #1

It is easy to club people together, but there are bound to be influences of authors you’ve read. I grew up reading fast paced authors such as Sidney Sheldon and Jeffrey Archer, but to say I’m one of them isn’t true; my style is intrinsically my own Picture Quote #1

I’m a simple hillbilly. I don’t like eating modern, industrialized, fast food. I grew up eating home-cooked food. So when I’m traveling abroad, like when I recently received a six-month writing fellowship to Iowa in the U.S., I like to cook my own food Picture Quote #1

I’m scared to death of being poor. It’s like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It’s my pet paranoia Picture Quote #1

I grew up a fat kid in a small town in Minnesota who was a tomboy and happened to play a mean violin. My goal was to be a famous concert artist some day Picture Quote #1

In my town, I had only one adult American male role model: my father. I grew up taking it for granted that missionaries were what American boys grew up to be Picture Quote #1

Harrison Ford has always been one of my favorite actors. I grew up with Han Solo and Indiana Jones, and ‘Regarding Henry’ is one of my favorite movies of all time Picture Quote #1

I grew up a child of Watergate. It gave me a good dose of skepticism about authority. One of my favorite movies is ‘All the President’s Men.’ Woodward and Bernstein, those guys were my heroes. I have a degree in journalism Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the 80s. I was a kid, but all my favorite movies came out of that period Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early 90s. That time period was my favorite Picture Quote #1

I grew up listening to Switchfoot. I love Switchfoot; they’re a great band. John Foreman is awesome. I really dig mainstream pop music, but I also have a heart for jazz and rock. Oh! Coldplay!

My uncle is from Trinidad, so, ever since I was 7, I grew up listening to Soca, the genre that’s from there. It’s my favorite sound Picture Quote #1

His feedback taught me so much about how to craft a cinematic narrative Picture Quote #1
