Every child needs an adventure of some kind. The process of becoming an adult is predicated on exercises in independence, facing up to intimidating circumstances, and finding out what it means to be alone.We Love You So
It's so funny how my childhood has rushed back to me with the arrival of my son (17 months tomorrow.) All that keeps appearing to me as just what that quote is saying. The unconscious need to explore and discover. Having a girl would have been just as beautiful but the fact that I have a son makes me see myself and see what he will be looking for in a world of endless possibilities.
Almost every screenplay I’ve ever written is about this.

17 months, wow. The adventure has just begun!
