You know, that's it's one of those things that to I think to most people, when they look at my life and they look at, you know, things like that, that look like blatantly, obviously horrific things.

You know, if they told me you can do 18 years in prison or you can work at McDonald's for 18 years, I'd be like, fuck, send me to prison. In a lot of ways, I think I really was fortunate in, you know, it took me out of a situation where, Nobody in my family has an education beyond the ninth grade. When I was born, my mom was 15, my dad was 16.
