“I'm not going to apologize for the way I've led my life.”
“After everything I've been through, the last thing I'm going to apologize for is my paranoia.”
“One thing has led to the next in my life, but like lines of a poem. I suppose I've thrown in my lot with love, and don't know any other way to go on breathing. ”
“My environment reflects the life I've led, the places I've visited and the people I've loved.”
“I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.”
“For a long time I've wanted to apologize for my behavior that year, but I'm not sure how or even if it would be sincere. How does the man (woman) apologize for the boy (girl)? (132)”
