Adults Quote by Johnny Marr
![“Now, I'm a dad, I'm an adult. I've been solo for 25 years; I've been in other people's groups but I'm solo [in a broader sense]. I stopped comparing myself to other people's maps when I was maybe 24, really. The trajectory that I've gone on is not one that I can compare with anybody else.” quote by Johnny Marr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0d9/johnny-marr-10369_adults_now-i-m-a-dad-i-m-an-adult-i-ve-been-sol_2130093.jpg)
