But the emotional stuff, when you say stuff to people, that's terrible.

So I don't give myself a pass on that.

But I do want to say that I was that guy.

I was a terrible guy there and all the way around.

I could be generous.

You know, like when I steal money, sometimes I would give it to poor mothers who were single mothers at Christmas time.

who had a bunch of kids.

I could do that, but that doesn't cover the fact that I was a bad person and was willing, in this case, to have my aunt lose her home.

So, yes, that happened.

And terrorized the hell out of every teller I got a hold of.

I just terrorized them, right?

So that's a terrible thing.

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?
