“People are more willing to talk about child abuse. When this whole McMartin thing went down, I was at a dinner party with about eight people, all from different backgrounds and from all over the world. And every single person at that table had had some weird experience as a child. I think everyone has - whether it was with a babysitter, or playing doctor, but usually when some older person tries to come in contact with you. It's amazing how much we block out.” PeopleThinkingWorldTryingChildrenDifferentPartyAbuseBlockChild AbuseSingle PersonDinner PartyBabysitter Author:Laura Dern
“Even if you've gone through an average childhood, you have girlfriends who get pregnant and then have to choose whether or not to have a child. And this stuff certainly makes you think about what you're taking on. I certainly want to have children, but I could never do it until I felt I loved myself enough, and wanted to bring someone into the world because I had some kind of security.” ThinkingWorldKindChildrenEnoughChildhoodSecurityGirlfriendPregnantMake You Think Author:Laura Dern
“I study Carl Jung, who talks a lot about the shadow side, the repressed side. I think the scariest thing in the world is repression. There's plenty to be idealistic about, but we have to be aware of all sides of ourselves, and there are definitely shadows in all of us.” ThinkingWorldStudyShadowPlenty Author:Laura Dern
“I don't care, but I don't get bitter about anything as long as I can work and do the things I love. And it would be a beautiful world if those things I love and that mean something could remain as they are.” WorldMeanLongCareBeautifulBitterBeautiful World Author:Laura Dern
