I don’t think [Requiem for a Dream] is for children, but I think if you went home and looked at the video games that your kids are playing, you’d be much more shocked.
In 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, there was a teenage girl who was pregnant with her second child. She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children.

Thank you for teaching me to dream.
I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater.

We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth.
