I got totally isolated.

And so I would say in the late 70s, around 1980, is when I started getting dangerous, starting thinking dangerous thoughts.

1955.

Okay.

I was born in Oklahoma, but I grew up in Dallas, Texas.

I'm the youngest of three.

I had a normal childhood.

No trauma, no abuse going on.

I had a loving family.

So I can't blame my family at all for what happened to me.

No.

I mean, later on in life, my father developed depression, but not during my growing up years.

Well, I got sick.

I got mentally ill and delusional and depressed.

And it wasn't an overnight thing that I got dangerous.

It was a gradual thing.

I got caught up in delusions about Jodi and the theme of tax.

I don't know if you've seen Taxi Driver, but.

Yeah, it is.

I mean, I totally could relate to Travis Bickle, who was the character in Taxi Driver that Robert De Niro was playing.
