I hate that word, mature, but I guess I am growing up.

I think I am an adult.

To be adult is to be alone.

I believe that maturity is not an outgrowing, but a growing up: that an adult is not a dead child, but a child who survived.

The words I use too often are X-rated, something an old man like me shouldn't be talking about anyway.

Calling a book 'young adult' is only important in that it can help get a book to the right reader. After that, it's a useless abstraction and should be discarded.

As far I'm concerned, being an adult is way more fun than being a kid. But then I was a kid who wanted to be an adult. I'd watch shows like 'Bewitched' and see Darren come home and mix a martini and I'd go, 'That looks awesome! I want to do that!'

Having kids certainly gets me to ask the question, 'Who is the adult here, and who is the kid?'
