Although I was writing songs when I was younger, I didn't feel I had much of a clue as to what I was doing or how I was doing it. There are a few songs from my past where I thought, 'Well, that's pretty decent,' but I didn't have a discipline. I suppose I'm kind of a late bloomer.

Timothy B. Schmit

In 'George Lopez', I played Veronica who's a bratty 18-year-old, and so I feel like it's much easier for me to play that because I feel like a late bloomer. It wasn't difficult or challenging at all because it's not like I haven't been a teenager.

Aimee Garcia

I feel like I always describe myself as a late bloomer. My first album, in my mind, was that I had a few songs I needed to take from incomplete demos to working with someone else and finishing them.

Albert Hammond, Jr.

I was a late bloomer.

Alia Shawkat

I was a late bloomer in a lot of areas in life.

Allison Janney

I'm such a late bloomer.

Ang Lee

I've never felt like I've exactly traded on my looks. When I was a teenager, I was an ultra late bloomer, and my mom would say it was a blessing because it means you never have to wonder if guys are only interested in you because you've got boobs.

Anna Kendrick

I grew up in Indiana. I'm a late bloomer, very naive.

Arija Bareikis

'Late bloomer' is another way of saying 'slow learner.'

Ben Fountain

I've always been what they call a late bloomer.

Bill Pullman

I was a shy kid, a late bloomer. At 22, I was probably 16 emotionally.

Chris Pine

I was a late bloomer. I wasn't a child performer.

Christian Borle

I was definitely a late bloomer.

Clay Matthews III

My great-grandmother was in one of the first girl bands, in the 1920s. Their outfits were mental: velvet bloomers with big ribbons and headpieces. They were brilliant.

Daisy Lowe

I'm very comfortable with the idea of there being late bloomers, and for me, of course, there's no difficulty at all in the way that I think of talent and achievement and so on.

Daniel Tammet

I'm a late bloomer. Being a late bloomer is a problem when you decide at 40 you want to have children.

Daphne Zuniga

I was such a late bloomer when it comes to fashion.

Debra Messing

I was a late bloomer. I tried out for the football team, and I got locked off the field. That's how I wound up in drama.

Dennis Quaid

I'm a late bloomer.

Frank McCourt

I'm a late bloomer. I believe 40 is the new 19.

Gabriel Mann

I was a late bloomer. I was 38 when my first book was out and 43 when my first crime novel was out. I had a story that could only be told as a crime story. I think the genre is good; it deals with the fundamental questions of life and death. The problem is there are too many bad crime stories.
