I've met people who are baffled by children, as though they were never children themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Children, I always think, are just putting on a performance of being naive and not understanding anything. I have worked with children in films, and they're treated as adults and they just drop the pretense of being children.
I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.
I find it strange when people can't relate to kids, because you were a kid once, you know?
I really look at children as being little people and not necessarily things or people to control.
Children astound me with their inquisitive minds. The world is wide and mysterious to them, and as they piece together the puzzle of life, they ask 'Why?' ceaselessly.
There are certain realities we must speak of with our children that were not present when I was a child.
As soon as I gave birth, it was as if you understand them. They become people, not kids. You start to identify with them. You see yourself in them.
Some people seem as if they can never have been children, and others seem as if they could never be anything else.
As I get older and I see all my friends starting to have children, I see them have different reactions to the material that was probably not of great interest to them when they were younger, because they're re-experiencing it through their kids.
Children are not children. They are just younger people.
