Rich kids' parents gave them too much, poor kids not enough. You know, too much attention, not enough attention. They either left them, or they stuck around, taught 'em the wrong things.

— Jesse (Ethan Hawke)

Quote context

[...]

- You know, they love me more than anything in the world.

- I've been raised with all the freedom they had fought for.

- And yet, for me now, it's another type of fight.

- We still have to deal with the same old shit, but we can't really know who or what the enemy is.

- I don't know if there really is an enemy. You know? Everybody's parents fucked them up.

- Rich kids' parents gave them too much, poor kids not enough. You know, too much attention, not enough attention. They either left them, or they stuck around, taught 'em the wrong things.

- I mean, my parents are just these two people who didn't like each other very much, who decided to get married and have a kid. And they try their best to be nice to me.

- Did your parents divorce?

- Yeah, finally. They should've done it a lot sooner, but they stuck together for a while, for the well-being of my sister and I, thank you very much.

- I remember my mother once, she told me right in front of my father, they were having this big fight, that he didn't really want to have me, that he was really pissed off when he found out that she was pregnant with me, that I was this big mistake.

- And I think that really shaped the way I think. I always saw the world as this place where I really wasn't meant to be.

Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. And sometimes that feels really close. But then other times, it seems silly, like it would, ruin my whole life.
