“I think I’m just going to try to be honest in all the ways that I legally can. I mean, there’s certain things that we’ve agreed not to talk about, but I think I can still manage to tell people who I am and what the truth is from my perspective.

“You know, it’s one of those things when not everything that ends is a failure. I think we did a lot of really beautiful things together, and I have really fond memories of all of that, and I don’t regret any of it, you know, even the hard stuff. It’s like when I got into recovery, I wound up after a few years looking back and thinking, I don’t regret even the worst parts of that, because it all kind of goes into making me who I am, you know?

“And the time will come when the wounds aren’t still fresh. The time will come when I’m able to take all this and put it into my work in a way that is honest and true but makes sense for me. I’m going to be patient, and in the meantime, I got plenty of other shit to write about.”
