Adult Quotes

Being a teenager is chaotic because you’re kind of coming into your own, but you’re not an adult; you’re fighting with your parents over responsibilities and freedom Picture Quote #1

I thought twenty was pretty scary, like, not being able to call myself a teenager anymore, and feeling like an adult - that kind of made me nervous Picture Quote #1

Writing for children, you do bear a responsibility to not include overt or graphic adult content that they are not ready for and don’t need, or to address adult concepts or themes from an oblique angle or a child’s limited viewpoint, with appropriate context, without being graphic or distressing Picture Quote #1

As an adult, you think of yourself as being someone else when you’re away from your family, but when you come back to your family, you suddenly find yourself back in the exact same role that you always had in your family as a child and as a teenager Picture Quote #1

That whole business of having two homes, and that divided loyalty bind that kids get into. I mean, my parents were divorced - though I was adult - but I still grappled with being responsible to both of them Picture Quote #1

I have an adult emotional life and an editing system inside me which prevents me from being preposterously stupid Picture Quote #1

To be more childlike, you don’t have to give up being an adult. The fully integrated person is capable of being both an adult and a child simultaneously. Recapture the childlike feelings of wide-eyed excitement, spontaneous appreciation, cutting loose, and being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent universe Picture Quote #1

Stealing money from your parents - I feel like I did that a lot and I now know as an adult that your parents knew how much money they had. Nobody was being fooled Picture Quote #1

I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being ‘someone’s girlfriend’, and now I am happy being single Picture Quote #1

Acting like an adult and being professional on set and getting my work done has just been a lifestyle for me. It’s not something I have to try hard to do, necessarily Picture Quote #1

Anyone interested in the world generally can’t help being interested in young adult culture - in the music, the bands, the books, the fashions, and the way in which the young adult community develops its own language Picture Quote #1

I was incredibly lucky that my first book found a large and loyal readership. It changed my life - from being a very withdrawn adult to living in Paris as a full-time writer. It has also given me enormous confidence Picture Quote #1

The only obvious advantage to being an adult is that you can eat your dessert without haying sampled the vegetables Picture Quote #1

I feel very lucky to have grown up having interaction with adults who were making change but who were far from perfect beings. That feeling of not being paralyzed by your incredible inadequacy as a human being, which I feel every day, is a part of the legacy that I’ve gotten from so many of the adult elders Picture Quote #1

Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one’s death Picture Quote #1

In all teaching there must be a fusion of authority as an adult providing a stable framework for the children in one’s care, and humility as another human being ready to educate an equal who may turn out to be a superior Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t say in all situations, but a lot of times kids can be the most reasonable people around because they don’t have the deal with all the drama that goes along with being an adult Picture Quote #1

I love being a teen because you don’t have all the responsibilities of an adult yet Picture Quote #1

It took me a long time to make that leap to being a grown-up and responsible adult because I carried on being a child actor into my late twenties. It’s OK to be precocious when you’re young, but when you’re a man of about 27 or 28 and playing a 17-year-old in a TV show, it kind of prolongs your childhood Picture Quote #1

People are always like, ‘Oh, ‘Jurassic Park’ is on...’ or ‘Oh, ‘The River Wild’ is on...’ I actually haven’t seen any of my movies in a long time. Being more self-aware now, and being an adult, I’m a little bit embarrassed to watch them Picture Quote #1

I don’t know... it’s just too much fun to wonder about what life would be without gravity. I just started thinking about outer space more as an adult than I probably ever did as a kid. That was also inspiring, the concept of being stuck to the earth Picture Quote #1

Everybody struggles with being an oddball. It’s tough trying to fit in when you’re a kid; then you become an adult and you think, ‘I’m just going to be myself and either they accept it or they don’t.’ But you know what? I like me, and that’s the most important thing Picture Quote #1

I believed then - in a deep, easy way that is impossible for me as an adult - that there was more to this world than meets the eye. Trees had spirits; the wind spoke. If you followed a toad or a raven deep into the heart of the forest, they were sure to lead you to something magical Picture Quote #1

Every extra year you spend in a better environment makes you more likely to go to college, less likely to have a teenage pregnancy, makes you earn more as an adult, makes you more likely to have a stable family situation, be married, for instance, when you’re an adult Picture Quote #1

The best mistake I ever made was believing that I was stupid. It was a childhood thing, but it played out big-time as an adult. It scorned me the rest of my life - in a good way Picture Quote #1

I guess the biggest difference from the things I’ve done in the past is that my work will be more narrative-driven adult films or vignettes, not just gonzo scenes, which are straight sex, no storyline Picture Quote #1

An adult woman should not be so possessive of her own birthday that she begrudges her friends the chance to get married on the same day Picture Quote #1
