A Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Always strive to find out what to do by thinking, without asking anybody. If you continually do this, you will soon act like a grown-up woman. For want of doing this, a very great number of grown-up people act like children.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

Mary Wesley

And a great misunderstanding is that children think their parents are grown-up, and parents feel obliged to act as if they were.

Anna Quindlen

I just feel like I haven't grown up yet. I live on my own and I do grown-up things, but there is something about me that is very youthful.

Kay Panabaker

We've grown up with the idea that even when you're at the top, act like you're at the bottom.

Kevin Jonas

I've grown up with girls that are like Precious. I've grown up with people that are like everyone that I read about in that book. And so years later, when I was given the role, I just felt a huge responsibility to show the reality of that situation and to show that we're not making it up.

Gabourey Sidibe

I just act like a kid on purpose. But I feel like a grown-up when I talk to my friends and they ask for advice.

Jin

I approach my life with logic. I do not act on impulse or emotion. I very seldom find that I say, 'And then I can't think what came over me, but I did this or that or the other.' I nearly always know how I will act and I nearly always act in that way. I don't catch myself out in embarrassing situations because I've acted without forethought. I calculate what I will do.

Quentin Crisp

Children always turn towards the light. Oh that grown-up people in this world became like little children!

Julius Charles Hare

What happened on September 11 wasn't the first act of war, it was the most unspeakable act of murder and terrorism. But it was construed by a very small group of people - there is no army out there in the dark waiting to take over America. It's like being stung by a bee and going out and smashing up a beehive, and thinking you've solved the problem. There are more beehives out there; more bees will come. But they're bees. They're not grizzly bears.

Billy Bragg

Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.

Neil Gaiman

It always feel like people are doing more grown-up things than you are.

Jens Lekman

When I'm around the kids I feel like I act the most grown-up just because you're supposed to. And I say things, like every other day, that remind me of my own parents.

Adam Sandler

I will never have a problem working with anybody. I will even work with a man if he dresses up like a woman, because it's my job. I am here to act.

Ranbir Kapoor

Actors often behave like children, and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.

Jeremy Irons

When you're doing something you're not used to, you kind of realize that you're still a kid: even though the whole world around you sees you as an adult and you're expected to act like an adult, you still haven't actually grown up.
