I don't think I got fucked up over all that work because I hated it... or because I thought it was wrong. I think I got fucked up because I liked it too much. 'Cause it felt too fuckin' right. And knowin' that, feelin' that, wasn't somethin' I could accept. I couldn't handle what it said about me or how I see myself or this whole damn world around me. But I'm a fuckin' dragon slayer, Raq. What the fuck you call a dragon slayer when he ain't got no dragons to slay?—Lou-Lou Thomas, to Raq Thomas
