Accepting Quote by Linda Woolverton

“They're [children] less forgiving. You have to be very conscious of the fact that they're not going to just accept things; they're going to question. They're going to move around if you bore them. They'll actually leave. So you really have to be on your toes.” quote by Linda Woolverton
