Quote by Emily Mortimer
Lots of people there seemed to be in denial, in absolute denial, of death - everybody's pretending that death doesn't happen in L.A. if you do enough exercise and take enough wheatgrass and have your pill every day, you might not die.
Summary
This quote conveys the observation that many people in Los Angeles appear to be in denial about death. The speaker suggests that the pervasive health-conscious culture in L.A., focused on exercise and consuming health products like wheatgrass and pills, creates an illusion that death can be avoided. It implies that people in this environment ignore the inevitability of death, hoping that by adhering to certain lifestyle choices, they can cheat mortality. The quote criticizes the prevalent attitude in L.A. that death is something to be denied rather than accepted as a natural part of life.
