Quote by Shirley Henderson
Children dont just play any more - theyre far too busy learning to

Children dont just play any more – theyre far too busy learning to fence and taking extra French classes. In the end, youre actually doing more damage to your children by trying to hot-house them. Its far better to remain a calm parent. – Shirley Henderson

Other quotes by Shirley Henderson

I spend plenty of time in London and it doesnt scare me, but its a lonely place, even if youve got friends there. My job takes me all around the world, meeting lots of interesting people. But I think if I couldnt get home, if I couldnt get back to what I consider my real life Id be frightened. – Shirley Henderson

I think when you get a wee taste of something, it maybe isnt what you thought it was. – Shirley Henderson
