In December 1998 I considered myself an expert on love. I was almost a year into a relationship one that had grown more slowly than I had wished but once it flowered it was much more stimulating than any marriage or relationship I had known.

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.

I've grown a lot and I'm learning every week.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up but to me being grown up is death stopping thinking trying to find out things going on learning.

We started this band as kids and as time has gone on we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.

Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.

The mob spirit has grown with the increasing intelligence of the Afro-American.

Maybe there's a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people.

My humor tends to be a little more edgy than is appropriate for 'Twilight ' although I got some in there. That was fun! There's just a tonal difference. For me storytelling is storytelling. But I do like writing for grown ups.

One of the great privileges of having grown up in a middle-class literary English household but having gone to school in the front lines in Southeast London was that I became half-street-urchin and half-good-boy at home. I knew that dichotomy was possible.
