Whenever People Ask Me How I Manage

I Didn't Have Parents Who Were, You Know, Racing To Get A Reality Television Show, You Know? Or Looking To Benefit In Some Way From Their Daughter's Fame.

It's The Universal Feeling That We All Are Alone - That We're All Different. I Think The Movie's One Resounding Theme Is That Everybody Feels The Same, And We're All Alone Together. Some People Come Up To Me On The Street And Thank Me For Helping Them Get Through Their Teen Years.

Usually The Kids Are Portrayed As Very One-dimensional. Like These Mindless Animals That Just Have Three Things On Their Minds: Getting Laid, Getting Drunk, And Driving Real Fast Over Mulholland Drive.

Yes, My Kids Come First, But As A Parent I Need To Come To Them With A Fresh Mind. I Can't Be Too Exhausted Or Too Tired. And I Am A Better Parent When I Have More Energy.

I Don't Really Believe In Regret. I Think You Can Always Learn From The Past, But I Wouldn't Want A Different Life.
