Text Quotes
I grew up in a middle class household with parents, went to good schools, and never feared for anything, never wanted for anything that was really important. For all of us living in this world, all of us who have the resources, for us to not dedicate ourselves to giving something back, is to leave the world a lesser place.  (Grew Quotes) Who never found what good from science grew, Save the grand truth, that one and one make two  (Grew Quotes) Congo, my country, has the largest forest in Africa, maybe the second-largest in the world. I was born in a forest area, and when I was growing up, I assisted my uncle, who was a poacher. That was good, because it grew my passion for protecting the forest and plants.  (Grew Quotes) The goodness of the world grew like moss in cracks, she thought. It grew, somehow, with hidden roots, nourished by something unseen.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up in the 1930s Great Depression when many families struggled to make ends meet, and in an area where old-fashioned country gospel music was popular. Later, as an adult with a more mature outlook on Christianity, I realized that a lot of that music was rather shallow.  (Grew Quotes) I knew at that young age that going to the Bureau of Indian Affairs was useless, absolutely useless. I grew up having no faith in the bureaucracy of government.  (Grew Quotes) After 2003, we lowered taxes across the board. And by 2004, revenue to the federal government grew. In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan cut taxes dramatically. And by the end of the decade, revenue coming in the federal government had doubled.  (Grew Quotes) My grandmother had six kids - one died as an infant - and she was dirt-poor, and all her kids got an education. And my mom grew up poor. And they both worked so hard and cultivated so much of their own happiness. I wanted to have that like an amulet. Not like armor, but like a magic feather. Like Dumbo’s magic feather.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up around books - my grandmother’s house, where I lived as a small child, was full of books. My father was a history teacher, and he loved the Russian novels. There were always books around.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts. I really did have to walk home six miles through the snow, like your grandparents used to complain.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up in a semi-attached row house in Queens in New York. And my family and my grandparents and my father’s from Brooklyn, and so you’re essentially an outer boroughs kid, you’re growing up.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up in Brooklyn, and my parents were Holocaust survivors, so they never taught me anything about nature, but they taught me a lot about gratitude.  (Grew Quotes) It felt to me like America was always wanting to resolve things too quickly, without thinking through what the costs and consequences would be and how that affects an individual living in that world. Then as I grew up and went about my life, I think I just got more and more interested in that gray area where things are not so easily quantified.  (Grew Quotes) All of the films that I’ve made are about the country I live in and grew up in... And I think if you’re going to put an artist’s eye to it, you’re going to put a critical eye to it. I’ve always been interested in the gray area that exists between the black and white, or the red and blue, and that’s where complexity lies.  (Grew Quotes) My family is from the South, and I can remember all those ladies I grew up with, like my great-aunts, who had handkerchiefs. There’s something sweet about them.  (Grew Quotes) It’s funny how the ruthless, murderous gangster has really been romanticized by the media. I mean, I grew up watching the ‘Godfathers’ and ‘Scarface,’ and they were the coolest. They’re just really interesting stories with great characters. They’re rock stars.  (Grew Quotes) I think that kids need to grow up watching what I grew up watching - great entertainment; you know, Judy Garland and all these musicals that bring song and dance and acting all together in a polished way.  (Grew Quotes) My father went to Rutgers, and I grew up in New Jersey, so I’m a great Rutgers fan. I have season tickets.  (Grew Quotes) Within that quiet little girl with no apparent needs lived a person with a great imagination. In that shell I lived and grew and planned, until there emerged a way to pull all the loose threads of my life together.  (Grew Quotes) When I was a child, I liked tasting any candy I happened to see, but as I grew older, I realized those are a great meal to the worms in my innards. Will you shun old habits or nay? That’s the question.  (Grew Quotes) That’s what I grew up loving. Whether it’s 30 Rock or The Office or Parks And Rec... I don’t know if those still work on network today or not, but The Grinder did not. But the great news is that it lives on on Netflix.  (Grew Quotes) I’m really fortunate. I grew up in a wonderful household with great Irish Catholic parents.  (Grew Quotes) My great-grandmother grew up in a sod house in Nebraska. When she was a tiny girl - in other words, only four human generations ago - there were still enough wild bison on the Plains that she was afraid lightning storms would spook them and they would trample her home.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up very religious, and I don’t have a great relationship with religion  (Grew Quotes) I’ve definitely, you know, been with women. And I’ve had great relationships with them where I was definitely in love. It’s just I grew to a point where deep inside I knew that I could never truly have a relationship with a woman. I don’t know if they ever suspected. It was never brought up.  (Grew Quotes) My mother was Irish; she had this great sense of humor, and both my parents loved films. There was a very vibrant discourse about politics and everything that was going on in the world where I grew up. So I was genetically predisposed to go into the performing arts.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up on all of the great spy movies and TV series of the Sixties - not just Bond, but Derek Flint and the Avengers and Modesty Blaise and the Man from UNCLE and on and on. Every time I sit down to work on Cinderella, I’m writing a love letter to all of those characters.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up within New Orleans; my greatest concern is rising water. But I think life is a process of moving items from the ‘scared of’ to the ‘not scared of’ list.  (Grew Quotes) I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it  (Grew Quotes) I grew up in a very religious family. I could read the Qu’ran easily at the age of five.  (Grew Quotes)
