Jeff Bodine was saying that when he gets depressed, that he cleans house.
I don't think I was really addicted. I used it as a party tool.
I do enjoy making videos, even though they are long days and very hard work.

At times he let me go with someone else who he thought could take me to another level when he couldn't, and he was right. But they were in it for another reason. He was in it because he wanted to see me succeed no matter what, and he made decisions based on being a dad as opposed to a manager.

It's a good question, because to be believable is the only way that you could be successful.
That's the era we grew up in. It's weak to go to a psychiatrist.
