and you remind me of me when I was younger, depressed and sullen, matter-of-fact, tried to kill myself a couple of times. If we could get that right, biology wasn't my strong suit. I hated myself, man, still do, but that was a weakness

for a long time. Then I realized that was my power. People walk around act like they know what hate means. No, no one does until you hate yourself, I mean truly hate yourself. Best power.
