Kelly Carlson Quotes

If you haven't turned rebel by twenty you've got no heart; if you haven't turned establishment by thirty you've got no brains!

Conservatism clings to what has been established, fearing that, once we begin to question the beliefs that we have inherited, all the values of life will be destroyed.

To be a Conservative is to prefer the tried to the untried, the fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the super-abundant, the convenient to the perfect present, laughter to utopian bliss.

When you're young it's boring to be a keeper.

As you get older, you start to realise negativity is really bad.

I've been married 23 years now. Gone from spending all of my time on the road to being a husband and father.

There was definitely a time where I kind of did rebel a little bit, but it was not until I had graduated college.

I've got a family now, which matures you.

You know what, being in my 30s is so much better than my 20s.

I think at the age of 30, you still have youthful aspects, but at the same time, you have gathered enough experience to know how to succeed in life. I like this mixture.

Perhaps, over the years, I have become less immature and more professional.

You mature, you learn things.

Life's not so rocky now. It was very volatile when you're young: you've got no experience. Your sense of disappointment is far greater; your sense of success is overwhelming. And then you've got the emotional conflict within any group that you're not mature enough to deal with until you get older. It levels out.

Not just in films, even in life, if you choose to live in a space that is comfortable, you'll do fine.

When you are 16 or 17, you think you are right about everything. But when you are over 20, you realise the mistakes you made at 16 or 18. You learn with age.

I had to grow up, reach a certain age where I see people do have something to show me.

Man, I'm 31, talking like I'm 60. I really do feel in control.

I've got Peter Pan syndrome. It's not that I refuse to grow up - I love building businesses; I want to be a good husband, a good father. But I don't want to be boring. I don't want to be normal.

I feel as though going into middle age really suits me.

Maturity is simply the process of discovering that everything you believed in when you were young is false and that all the things you refused to believe in turn out to be true.

Now I got kids and I'm more wise now. Life means more to me than having fun. I'm more calm, more wise, and more cautious.

Who is old enough to have learned from experience?

Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.

Being young is wonderful. But one of the secrets of being a human individual - a mature human individual shall we put it rather grandly - is that you can see this desire in perspective.

Some were getting married; some were getting divorced. People were in different places, but you had enough time on this earth to actually get somewhere, and I think that's the exciting thing about being 36 and in your mid-30s. You've been somewhere, and you're going to go somewhere. It's fun; it's exciting.
