"I lived in LA for a few months. It seemed like no one there had parents. Or if they did have parents, they would deny it"

In this quote, Catherine O'Hara assesses her experience living in Los Angeles for a brief amount of time. She observes that it looked like however lots of people in LA did not have moms and dads or were not close with their parents. This could be due to the busy and frequently shallow nature of the city, where individuals are more focused on their own success and image rather than family relationships. O'Hara also recommends that even those who did have parents would deny it, possibly to harmonize the culture of independence and self-sufficiency in LA. This quote highlights the unique and sometimes isolating culture of Los Angeles.
