Quote of the day by Scarlett Johansson: 'People forget what it's like to be a child.' - A powerful statement on parenting, education, and everyday communication with children

"People forget what it's like to be a child. When you're a child actress, people sometimes regress into being obnoxious and patronizing. But there's no reason to dumb things down just because you're working with kids." — Scarlett Johansson
