I had this inferiority complex as a child, as I was not good at speaking. I was also not good in studies or sports and would often flunk in four-five subjects.
I must take issue with the term 'a mere child', for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
I haven't had television since 1991, and it definitely influences me. As a child of the 1970s, I couldn't hold a narrative in my head; I was lucky if I could hold a joke in my head, because every time you turn on television or radio, it wipes the slate clean - at least in my case.
The finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet.
The first time I went on stage as an adult was touring with the Johnny Cash Show. I'd sang as a child. But my grown-up initiation was as part of that band.
It's not an easy course. It's not designed to be. We're not here to get you in touch with your inner child.
I think my inner child wants to take over the world.
My inner child is not wounded.
It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.
I love fantasy; I love imagination - that's the inner child in me.
I want a man, but I want a man that also wants to embrace his inner child.
In many cases, the reason why our child development centers are not at full capacity is that we have an insufficient number of providers.
With regard to moral rules, the child submits more or less completely in intention to the rules laid down for him, but these, remaining, as it were, external to the subject's conscience, do not really transform his conduct.
An introvert as a child, I spent most of my younger years being bullied for my name. It took its toll on me, and by Class VI, I couldn't even have a proper conversation with anyone.
I always had the intuition, even as a little child, that I was called for a big project.
At some point, parents may become inured to a child's self-destruction, but I never did.
I made a decision as a child that I would never let anyone tell me that I was invalid or inauthentic, or that my experiences were.
I believe in a strong two-party system, and when one party is losing so spectacularly, it emboldens the other party to overreach and become a cartoon of itself, invoking awful things like - I’m just spit-balling here - child separation policies and trade wars.
If you took a child in London and took their iPhone and took them somewhere else in the country, they'd probably not be able to find their way back. That's a shame.
