People are starved for the truth, and when something comes along that even looks like the truth, people will latch onto it because everything's so false.

It's very difficult to escape your background. You know, I don't think it's necessary to even try to escape it. More and more, I start to think that it's necessary to see exactly what it is that you inherited on both ends of the stick: your timidity, your courage, your self-deceit, and your honesty - and all the rest of it.

People are starved for a way of life - they're hunting for a way to be or to act toward the world.
