I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five thirty years earlier I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.

Young people in the business have grown up and made the wrong decisions or bad decisions and haven't been good role models. To be someone that people look up to is important to me.

That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story.

Even when I was a kid I had a good thing with kids. To this day if I go to a birthday party with one of my kids I swear to you I am so much happier hanging out with my kids and their friends than talking to the grown-ups.

Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years scold them. By the time they turn sixteen treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.

Sometimes I think I might not have written 'The Age of Miracles' if I hadn't grown up in California if I hadn't been exposed to its very particular blend of beauty and disaster of danger and denial.

Art is for anyone. It just isn't for everyone. Still over the past decade its audience has hugely grown and that's irked those outside the art world who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.

It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.

It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how if you take Butters and Cartman and put them in any scene it works.

No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.

I'm a grown woman and sometimes I might be a little fat you know? Am I alone there? Not really.

I once had a boyfriend who couldn't write unless he was wearing a necktie and a dress shirt which I thought was really weird because this was a long time ago and no one I knew ever wore dress shirts let alone neckties it was like he was a grown-up reenacter or something.

A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst he has the company of a boy a youth and by and by a grown man - the one he used to be.

I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked earned money and was independent at 18.

To be perfectly honest I think that as I'm growing older I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.

We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
