I am getting so far out one day I won't come back at all.

I think the price is having people who don't really know where you're going, where you want to go where you're coming from, make decisions, and sometimes these decisions can be very bad for you. But it's the price that I have to pay to get my music out and to be here today. And it's normal because everybody will go through it.

It's like the people who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.

I have set foot in that region of life where it is not possible to go with any more intention of returning

That's the funny thing about arriving somewhere, Vin. Once you're there, the only thing you can really do is leave again

I have set foot in that region of life where it is not possible to go with any more intention of returning.

I had set foot in that part of life beyond which one cannot go with any hope of returning.

So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds of thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go!

"And when you call on some high official, imagine that you will not find him at home, that you will be shut out, that the door will be slammed in your face, and that he will ignore you. But if, in spite of all this, you really have to go, accept it and go without ever telling yourself, "it was not worth all that". That's what an ordinary person would do, someone upset by mere circumstances."
