You’ve got to take the good with the bad. When you do something good, if it gets magnified, you’re some Jesus. And then when you do something bad, you become Satan. But two years later, if you’re still talking about a mistake I made, then something is really wrong with you. Like when you write an article, if you’re going to bring up the gun thing, then bring up that I adopted somebody when his parents died in a fire. Put that in there, too.
I guess negative things sell, and we can tell because we’ve got these reality TV shows where everybody just beats themselves senseless and we just keep tuning in. That’s where my iffiness comes back and the reason I stayed away so long, is like, “Do I even want to be a part of that anymore?”
I’m happy now. I’m a race-car driver.
