I‘m still about as pigeon-toed as you can get. But I learned to manage pretty well on a bike. Should have had a bicycle then, when I was a kid, but our family didn’t have the money for such luxuries. I saved up to buy one myself a few years later. (Aldiss Brian)
the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age. (Aldiss Brian)
I grew with it, and I used to go to see the monks, who had no possessions, even more extreme than my mother. (Aldiss Brian)
I was a restless child. I did not go to school. My mother used to go to the monks of the Jain religion, and I would go with her. (Aldiss Brian)
That was my childhood. I grew up with the monks, studying Sanskrit and meditating for hours in the morning and hours in the evening, and going once a day to beg for food. (Aldiss Brian)
My father was a farmer and my mother was a farmer, but, my childhood was very good. I am very grateful for my childhood, because it was full of gladness and good humanity. (Aldiss Brian)
I grew up in Arizona and have a lot of buddies that are cowpokes. (Aldiss Brian)
I was just a kid, but I was a rotten kid. (Aldiss Brian)
I was always in plays at school and in school concerts - you could say I liked to show off. (Aldiss Brian)
As a kid I was short and only weighed 95 pounds. And though I was active in a lot of Sports and got along with most of the guys, I think I used comedy as a defense mechanism. You know making someone laugh is a much better way to solve a problem than by using your fists. (Aldiss Brian)
At first I wanted to be a jockey. I rode horses in Cleveland but I kept falling off and I was afraid of horses. So there wasn't much of a future in it. (Aldiss Brian)
I figure you're only here for a matter of moments. Ever since I was a kid watching movies I've always wanted to make people laugh or have some sort of emotional reaction. (Aldiss Brian)
If only my folks had beaten me, I could have gotten some material about my miserable childhood. But as it is, I've had a great life. (Aldiss Brian)
I remember being a kid and the Vietnam War was huge and looking at Watergate. (Aldiss Brian)
I was rather a fat little boy. (Aldiss Brian)
I like to spread myself out. Since I was a kid, I always recognized some void. (Aldiss Brian)
There's nothing like castrating 20 pigs before lunch. I did that during school whenever the need arose. They'd call out the agricultural class and put us in trucks to go help the local farmers. (Aldiss Brian)
When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel. (Aldiss Brian)
I suppose when I was a kid, and I went to movies, and later went to some plays on my own when I got a little older, in New Orleans, where I was living then, I zeroed in on the actor. (Aldiss Brian)
I went to Europe with Spencer Tracy. What a thrill, working with John Ford when I was a kid. (Aldiss Brian)
At 6 years old I knew there was no place for me. (Aldiss Brian)
