I've never been alone. I was in a room where I felt like suicide. I've been depressed. I've felt terrible beyond everything but I've never felt that someone would enter the room and heal what I'm feeling... or any larger number of people.

I've never worried about the need to rush out during the nights. I hide in bars because I don't want to hide in factories. That's all. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's have a little more wine. ”
