Kid Quotes

I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we’re all nuts on some level. I think you’ve gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn’t rebel in the traditional sense Picture Quote #1

I love ‘Battlestar Galactica;’ I was a geeky kid. I was into Dungeons and Dragons. I had the 24-sided dice Picture Quote #1

I loved Duran Duran’s Girls on Film - it was really sexy and naughty and totally weird. When you’re a kid watching that stuff on television you’re like, Well, we are opening up as a society! Picture Quote #1

I had to put my kid before my career and all the money I was making. I decided to do the right thing. I was dying inside. If I didn’t have my daughter, I would be dead right now, for sure Picture Quote #1

In my family, as in all dysfunctional families, instead of parents who act as strong and nurturing role models for their children, you get these needy people who use their children. I was the kid who tried to take on the marriage Picture Quote #1

We also own a little boat and I’m like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day Picture Quote #1

Songwriters always reminded me of that kid at school who would go around with his guitar, like, ‘Yeah, songwritin’ man,’ looking wistful. That wasn’t me - those kinds of people put me off. In the early days, I’d write a bunch of lyrics and almost look at them as a sort of joke, to make the rest of the boys laugh Picture Quote #1

I like to go home early, that’s my thing. My idea of a pub crawl lasts from midday until 5 P.M., then I can go home, play with my kid, have tea and go to bed Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, while touring East Berlin - back when there was an East Berlin - I got my left foot stuck in an escalator in Alexanderplatz. A few hours later, thanks to blowtorches and chainsaws and East German soldiers and the U.S. Embassy, my foot was released, and I along with it Picture Quote #1

I certainly wasn’t able to get it when I was a kid growing up on the Lower East Side; it was very hard at that time for me to balance what I really believed was the right way to live with the violence I saw all around me - I saw too much of it among the people I knew Picture Quote #1

Ira [Gershwin] was the shyest, most diffident boy we had ever known. In a class of Lower East Side rapscallions, his soft-spoken gentleness and low-keyed personality made him a lovable incongruity. He spoke in murmurs, hiding behind a pair of steel-rimmed spectacles. Ira had a kid brother who wore stiff high collars, shirts with cuffs and went out with girls Picture Quote #1

In terms of the Eastern Europe stories, my family is originally from there; even as a kid, it was the Russian writers I loved most, and I’ve spent a substantial amount of time there myself, traveling and on research grants Picture Quote #1

It’s so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs... we should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics Picture Quote #1

As I get older every year, I’m eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I’m getting better Picture Quote #1

I always liked running as a kid. You know how eating chocolate or ice cream makes you feel good? That’s the same way that running and competing makes me feel Picture Quote #1

It’s never really been that hard for me. I’ve never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, everybody loved Hulk Hogan, right? ‘Eat your vitamins. Eat your vegetables.’ Everybody over 25 hated him because he was corny, right? Picture Quote #1

The only exercise I got as a kid was fork to mouth. Food was equated with love in my household. I thought you left the table when the zipper was down and you’d explode if you took another bite. I’d eat my plate and then everyone else’s leftovers Picture Quote #1

I remember tap-dancing and singing in front of the TV when I was a kid, telling my dad to stop watching Ed Sullivan or Milton Berle and watch me Picture Quote #1

Everything that you’d see on The Ed Sullivan Show was at the Tannen’s Magic. You’d think that if you could afford a trick like Doc Nixon’s Dove Vanish, then you could be on The Ed Sullivan Show as an 8-year-old kid Picture Quote #1

You can tell everybody that Eddie Robinson’s out looking for a job right now, and believe me, he’s a great kid. He’s happy and he’s healthy. All he needs is a couple of weeks to regain game fitness. Put him on the court and when the game counts ... Eddie Robinson is about one word: winning and losing. He’s a great athlete, and I love him to death Picture Quote #1

I learned English by watching soaps as a kid, and since I don’t have any formal education and can’t teach at the universities like other literary writers do Picture Quote #1

Our educational system now teaches every kid the same thing. It’s like rubber stamping! Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t the brightest kid, not by a long shot. I was interested in football, in girls, in getting my work done with the least amount of effort Picture Quote #1

I tried to laugh early on about ego and pride... I do something great and then I do something really dumb and then I laugh. You’ll always be that kid Picture Quote #1

I’ve kissed in the rain so many times. I think one of my first kisses was in the rain. It was in Washington, D.C., with some kid named Dash, in eighth grade. It was in the rain Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t athletic as a kid, and I was self-conscious about my body, but then in eighth grade I won a school contest, and the prize was a bunch of personal training sessions Picture Quote #1

I was a quiet, nerdy kid living in the Bronx. I spent most of my teens in my room, taking apart electrical items to figure out how they worked before putting them back together, and listening to the music my four older sisters and parents played Picture Quote #1

I was born tall. I was awkward and gangly. Before that, I was a really chubby elementary school kid. I’ve always been sort of a physical abnormality Picture Quote #1

My background was always more soulful pop. I was named after Ella Fitzgerald, and when I was a kid, I was listening to Lauryn Hill, Etta James, Joss Stone. For me, it was always about the voice Picture Quote #1
