It used to be that a son could look at the father, and pretty much know what life was gonna be like as an adult. There was confidence in that, and comfort in that, and frustration also.
Clancy Brown

It was my first straight dramatic role, and the most adult, intelligent one I have ever played.
June Allyson

It wasn't my intention in going after this part but I suppose now I do. The adult roles are a lot meatier - you're not always just the daughter or the girlfriend or whatever.
Emmy Rossum

It's kind of like family. I can't say that we go out to lunch and to the movies every day with each other. Everyone's fully grown adult women with lives.
Kathy Valentine

Just because you liked something as a youngster doesn't mean you have to like it as an adult. You can change your taste a little bit on the sweets and things like that.
Mike Ditka

Kerri and I met at theatre camp when were 16 years old, which is pretty lame. The rest of us met when we founded the State at New York University in 1988. Most of our adult lives have been spent bickering with these people.
Thomas Lennon

Kerry is an adult - he thinks things through. He learns from the present as well as the past. To George Bush, thinking things through is for sissies.
Richard Dreyfuss

Libertarians argue that no normal adult has the right to impose choices on other normal adults, except in abnormal circumstances, such as when one person finds another unconscious and administers medical assistance or calls an ambulance.
Tom G. Palmer

Love is staying up all night with a sick child - or a healthy adult.
David Frost

Mike Bloomberg may be a Republican these days. But he has been a Democrat for most of his adult life.
Randi Weingarten

Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.
Morgan Brittany

Most of my adult life I had this towering contempt for America.
Robert Crumb

My hope was that organizations would start including this range of skills in their training programs - in other words, offer an adult education in social and emotional intelligence.
Daniel Goleman

My six handbooks to Jewish life and lifecycle events mostly followed the trajectory of my adult Jewish life.
Anita Diament

My wife and I have spent half our lives, half our adult lives, trying to save special parts of California.
Pete McCloskey

Naturally, I have compensated in my adult years by owning very large numbers of books.
Martin Lewis Perl

No adult in my family would ever tell me anything about who my father was. I knew from an older cousin - only four years older than I am - everything, or what little I could discover about him.
John Irving

No one has to learn to spell to talk, right? You see a little kid holding a conversation with an adult. He probably doesn't know the words he's saying, but he knows where to fit them to make what he's thinking logical to what you're saying.
Ornette Coleman

No one, however powerful and successful, can function as an adult if his parents are not satisfied with him.
Frank Pittman

Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.
George Orwell
