I really just don't think that teenagers and adults are maybe as different as people think, and so the best roles, to me, are treated like real people and not like these 'crazy kids we don't know what to do with.'

Tavi Gevinson

I know plenty of adults who act like teenagers.

Michael K. Williams

Women are strong, strong, terribly strong. We don't know how strong until we are pushing out our babies. We are too often treated like babies having babies when we should be in training, like acolytes, novices to high priestesshood, like serious applicants for the space program.

Louise Erdrich

I wanted to make sure that my act was family friendly for tonight, but I don't have babies. So I thought that maybe I could pretend that I had babies and that way I could appeal to the people in the audience who have babies and to the people who like to pretend that they have babies.

Kristen Schaal

With teenagers, the emotions are higher and things are more dramatic. That doesn't mean adults don't also act like children in their own way.

Sara Shepard

I think the internet is kind of redefining what it is to be a teenager. Because there's a lot of media that's aimed at teenagers that other people are getting into. But, conversely, pornography or stuff that's intended for adults is completely readily available to anyone, like teenagers.

Grimes

If you treat people like adults they will act like adults, but if you treat them like children they will act like children.

Dennis Bakke

For black people, being around white people is sometimes like taking care of babies you don't like, babies who throw up on you again and again, but whom you cannot punish, because they're babies.

Hilton Als

How are children supposed to learn to act like adults, when so much of what they see on television shows adults acting like children?

Thomas Sowell

I would sell 2 million records, a million went to teenagers and a million went to the adults. So, when The Beatles became so popular, I lost a million to the teenagers, but I was still selling a million to the adults.

Bobby Vinton

If you want to be treated like adults then start acting like them.

Michael Cera

As a goalkeeper, you feel like if you're treated like adults and have your position explained to you, you respect that. You might not agree with it, but you get on with it.

Robert Green

I think people discredit teenagers and how wise they can be. Sometimes I meet teenagers who are much wiser than many adults I've met, because they haven't let any insecurities or doubts about themselves get in the way of their thoughts.

Amandla Stenberg

Babies cannot eat meat but some adults like milk.

J. Vernon McGee

I genuinely am sort of an emotionally stunted man-child, so if I just write to the top of my intelligence, it sounds like a teenager. I like being around teenagers. It's good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They're mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.

Brian K. Vaughan

But the pop-up suburb has an incomplete feel to it like something that just wasn't right, wasn't quite real, almost like a movie set. When people raised families in that sterile environment, it produced directionless children who became directionless teenagers, then directionless adults. With no roots, no past to stand on, you got hollow kids.

Anne Frasier
