Well-being changes as we move through life, which is why a child's version of it cannot be the same as an old person's.

My children, who are almost two: watching them develop has made me pay much closer attention to how we become who we are.

My childhood is a part of my story, and it's why I'm who I am today and why my career is what it is.

I had to be a grown-up when I should have been a little boy, and now that I'm a grown-up my little-boyness has exploded out of me. I've lived my life backwards.

Experiences from our youth shape what we do later in life.

What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.

When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.

Linking up the things you were with the things you become is what growing up is.

We don't change what we are, we change what we think what we are.
