How much now is left of the lad from Brixton, do you think? Not very much, I would think. I know, you know. I never got... I never became
who I should have been. I've spent an awful lot
of my life actually looking
for myself, you know? And understanding what it was
that I-why-what I existed for. What was it that really
made me happy in life? And who exactly, or was... Who are the parts of myself
I was trying to hide from? I think a lot of us
have huge senses of denial about who we are and
where we exist in the world. I really wanted to
sort of, you know, be very emotionally involved
with people. I didn't know how to do it. You know,
my parents were like that, and I guess you kind of,
as they say, they pass on a lot of faults
who I should have been. I've spent an awful lot

I've spent an awful lot
of my life

actually looking
for myself, you know?
00:00:15.883 --> 00:00:19.852

You know,
