Absolutely.

I mean, OK, so a couple of things I need to say about that.

One, it's true that I robbed the banks and banks are terrible places.

I have no respect for banks.

They do really terrible things and always have.

There was a reason why in this country, the original bank robbers from the Depression, those guys were heroes.

They were folk heroes.

Why?

Because they knew that the banks had ripped off so many people that when they would go into those banks, like pretty boy Floyd, he would go there.

And because they didn't have computers at that time, he would set fire to the mortgages that the banks held on those farmers.

So they became folk heroes because they were like banks had brought on the depression for everyone.

So when I run those banks, I don't feel guilty about it.

I did the time for those banks.

I served my time.

That's equal now.

Like I did something bad, I served time for it.

But I never could serve time for the pain that I inflicted on these women and a few men.

And so I don't give myself a pass for that.

I feel terrible about it.

In fact, the worst thing that I had, worst regrets and shame, what I carried on for a long time was for that.
