1979, When I Was 7
I doubt I’ll ever write an autobiography. It’s like masturbating and asking people to watch. It’s just a weird exercise for people who probably spent their entire lives looking for approval through some action they did. I’m not saying that I’m not one of those guys. I certainly am. But an autobiography just feels too…
