Kids today are technologically sophisticated. In many families, they are far ahead of their parents.

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.

Children are very smart, in their own stupid way. A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.

Kids all want to look cool, as if knowledge is a great burden, but they're always looking around. They remember.

Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.

Kids have a great sense of humour. If you don't, you're going to miss out.

Most kids are smarter than most grown-ups. Kids see the world in black and white... They look through all the garbage and see a world run by fools and dullards and lazy people. And there's nothing they can do about it because they have no power.

As kids do, they're smart, and even if parents try to keep things away from them, conflict and issues and whatnot, kids pick up on what's happening.

It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know.

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.
