“I was pretty much a dork growing up. Going up in front of a crowd and being an idiot was a relief when I was a kid. But talking to two or three people at once and being myself was impossible. And being myself while singing a song was more than impossible; I would've rather died. I get really nervous and tend to want to be an idiot.”
Ben Folds
“You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they're going.”
P. J. O'Rourke
“Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.”
The Wonder Years
“Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.”
Dr. James C. Dobson
“Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.”
Peter B. Medawar
“I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.”
Elizabeth Taylor
“I was a mostly happy child, though I had a pretty rough puberty. Growing up as a girl is always traumatizing, especially when you have the deadly combination of greasy skin and getting your boobs at ten. But I think it's good to grow up that way. It builds character.”
Tina Fey
