Even though I'm not with their mother it's important for my kids to see adults in a committed and happy relationship. They need to see a strong relationship. You don't have to settle.

Teenage readers also have a different relationship with the authors whose work they value than adult readers do. I loved Toni Morrison but I don't have any desire to follow her on Twitter. I just want to read her books.

My brother and I had a really privileged relationship with my parents... They treated us like adults.

In the melting pot that is America inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women young adults or minorities alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.

Otherwise I don't read much adult poetry at all because I'm not smart enough and mostly I don't get it.

A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people's patience.

Love is staying up all night with a sick child - or a healthy adult.

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don't deny anything I don't advocate anything I just live with it.

I love doing serious movies for adults.

As a kid I liked the 'Halloween' movies and 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult I really don't watch much horror to be honest.

Movies for adults sucked in the 1980s and music for adults sucked even worse whether we're talking about Kathleen Turner flicks or Sting albums the decade's non-teen culture has no staying power at all.

I love doing kind of more kiddish-oriented movies but I also love doing adult things. And I think it's fun to do a mix.

I don't want to make movies for kids and I don't want to make movies for adults either.

In life single women are the most vulnerable adults. In movies they are given imaginary power.

My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate so that I wouldn't have to pay the extra fifty cents that the adults had to pay.

Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.

For me the greatest revenge of all is having a happy adulthood waking up in my gorgeous turquoise bedroom in the morning beside a person who really inspires me. That's the best revenge a girl-loving girl from the Bible belt could possibly have. And importantly it's healthy.

I still feel like a kid sometimes myself so hard to believe that I'm a mom. Now I'm an adult! It only took 38 years!

My mom sent me to regular high school because she wanted me to have that experience and not say that I missed out but I didn't like it at all. I'm more comfortable in the world that I'm in I grew up in it so when I get around normal kids in regular high school I don't know what to do. I feel more secure in an adult environment.

I grew up in a family of Republicans. And when I was 18 and registering to vote my mom's only instruction was 'You just go in and pull the big Republican lever.' That's my welcome to adulthood. She's like 'No don't even read it. Just pull the Republican lever.

I care so passionately about improving the quality of life for women and girls not just here in the United States but internationally as well. I am a single mom and I raised a daughter who is now a young adult.

It's been very hard after being mostly a mom to develop an adult life of my own. And not being married anymore I have to come up with challenges.

We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult she's not paying attention anymore.

Libertarians argue that no normal adult has the right to impose choices on other normal adults except in abnormal circumstances such as when one person finds another unconscious and administers medical assistance or calls an ambulance.

To date embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment where ethical adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles.

French novels generally treat of the relations of women to the world and to lovers after marriage consequently there is a great deal in French novels about adultery about improper relations between the sexes about many things which the English public would not allow.

Who of us is mature enough for offspring before the offspring themselves arrive? The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.

How long before we have not just homosexual marriage but homosexual unions between adult men and small boys?

The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.

Let us be honest with each other. The threat to marriage is not the gays. It is a lack of loving commitment - whether it is found in the form of neglect indifference cruelty or adultery to name just a few manifestations of the loveless desert in which too many marriages come to grief.
