It's not a tough guy bullshit. It's like, I am ready for whatever the fuck comes my way and I will meet it with whatever comes my way. And then the next thought was like, but... If just this one time, please, I swear I'm dumb, I will devote myself to this thing. I will devote myself to this woman. I will serve in every way that I can. I will really do your work. Whatever that is, I promise you.

You know, when I go into prisons and I get to know these people and there's some folks that we've been a part of reducing their sentences and getting them out.

And I was always that guy.
