Notable Quotes

• Like I said before, we are responsible for our actions. She didn't make me do it; she was just a big part of it. 
• I know sometimes people might not have understood what they were doing in a way. But I still took that; I ran with that. I still ran with that and did the worst thing that could possibly be done at that moment, not to come out hurt or mad or something like that, in a way.
•  But it was like, oh, let's just let it maintain. Let's make sure he doesn't blow this builder. But he can crash a car into this house. 
• And I just was like; I'm just going to learn how to, I'm just going to learn how to destroy her in a way where I can just use my words to make sure she knows not to try me again.
• And I'm not proud of it because I destroyed some relationships that would have been great if I wasn't the way I was. And I knew it.
• Let's listen to communicate, not just respond.
• If I knew something personal about you that I knew or hurt you. I think that would be too easy. That one helped me, and no one helped me if I knew you had lost your mom. Talking about her wouldn't be a joy for me because anybody can hurt you with that. No, that wasn't me. I wanted to hurt you my way. And that wasn't my way. That's everybody's way.
