An epic is not made by piecing together a set of heroic lays, adjusting their discrepancies and making them into a continuous narrative.
“I wouldn't want my daughters to date a guy like me. I was dangerous around women in my twenties. I'm terrified that they might end up with someone like me.”
“I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?”
