Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They're incredibly honest. They'll tell you exactly what they think.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you raise kids, you want them to grow up and be successful. If they can grow up and be like you, it's quite flattering.
Some of these kids just don't plain know how good they are: how smart and how much they have to say. You can tell them. You can shine that light on them, one human interaction at a time.
A lot of my work is with children and there's a reason for that, because they really level you.
Kids have a weird honesty, especially in their reaction to things where a lot of older people who have matured have lost that.
I think your children are your measure of success, regardless of work and career.
Kids are more genuine. When they come up and want to talk to you, they don't have an agenda. It's more endearing and less piercing to your aura.
Working with children is very different than the way in which I work with adults. One has to work just as much with children as with adults, but the manner of work is very different. I never tell the children the actual truth of the thing that I want them to act.
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.
Working with kids can be tricky because they can be pretty unpredictable.
There's no secret to working with kids. They either charm you and you can work with them, or they don't charm you and you feel you're stuck with them.
