Summary

As children grow older, they tend to develop a natural inclination to hide their true emotions from adults. Around the age of seven or eight, there is a shift in their behavior, where they become more guarded and reluctant to express their genuine feelings. This instinctive tendency may stem from various factors such as societal expectations, fear of judgment, or a desire to maintain a sense of independence. Consequently, children may become more reserved and selective when it comes to revealing their genuine emotions to adults in their lives.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is not safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

You do the work and you want people to see it but, um while I'm doing the work, the result doesn't matter at all to me. Ultimately, I don't, I don't care whether the film is - you know - some big giant box-office bonanza and I don't care if its a complete flop. To me, when a film gets made and it's actually finished it's a success. They're all a success in their own way.
