When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself. Steven Spielberg

Kid, Appreciating, About

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.

Capable, Magnificent

As a spiritual person, nature for me has always been a healing place. Going back all the way to my childhood on the farm, the fields and forests were places of adventure and self-discovery.

Back, Been, Moved

Greg Boyle

Engagement, Deal, Joining

As an adult, I've always tried to be a good person my whole life, so I've made good friends, and I've always built great relationships and been friendly with people. I always think what you do to others will come to you, so that's how I treat people. Roman Reigns

Treat, Friendly, Been

Festivals are fun for kids, fun for parents and offer a welcome break from the stresses of the nuclear family. The sheer quantities of people make life easier: loads of adults for the adults to talk to and loads of kids for the kids to play with. Tom Hodgkinson

Play, Festivals, Break

I don't care what town you're born in, what city, what country. If you're a child, you are curious about your environment. You're overturning rocks.

City, Doing, Country

Been, Arrested, Cocoon

Teacher, Parent, Always

The great thing about cake is it doesn't feel like work. You forget about work. Kids, adults, they all get the same look in their eye when they're decorating cakes... That's the magic right there. Duff Goldman

Magic, Feel, About

Dolls fire our collective imagination, for better and - too often - for worse. From life-size dolls the same height as the little girls who carry them, to dolls whose long hair can 'grow' longer, to Barbie and her fashionable sisters, dolls do double duty as child's play and the focus of adult art and adult fear. Ellen Datlow

Focus, Play, Barbie

Teenagers watch and listen to all kinds of things. It is the nature of being a teenager to seek out intense stuff. Stuff about death and sex and love and fear.

Love, Death, About

Love, My Life, Fact

I Think, Same Thing, Asking
