We reach a certain age where we realize we know less about life than we did when we were seventeen. When I was seventeen, I remember…I believed in life. I trusted life. I believed there were answers to questions. I had…hope. Right now, I'm gonna tell you: I hate myself. I don't have any friends to speak of. All I have is this…job. And it disgusts me.

That's because you never tasted my wife's. That's all it would take, no matter how bad of a day it was. She had that touch. I remember how she used to touch me, you know, so gently on the cheek. And when she was dying, I remember how she touched me… She said, "Remember…how much I love you." I'll never forget that. I don't wanna be alone anymore. I find myself folding in.
