Sometimes adults seem as though they have cut a chord from being a child.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.
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.
Being an adult comes with a whole new set of issues.
Most of us remember adolescence as a kind of double negative: no longer allowed to be children, we are not yet capable of being adults.
To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.
Having kids certainly gets me to ask the question, 'Who is the adult here, and who is the kid?'
Kids love watching adults act like children. It's that spirit they can relate to.
You know, children philosophize more than adults - and they are critical of adults.
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Children refuse to compromise. Adults learn how.
