Oh, there is much humility and humiliation in it, but all of it comes from pride. ↗

Like, “My skin is melting off my face, isn’t it?” And, “My whole body feels dead from the crap they’re pouring into me. Do I look green to you?” And, “When I’m naked, I can see my heart beating. ↗

Because if you make me do that, I will make a stink that you'll never get off your shiny suits. I will sue the network. I will sue the studio. I will sue each one of you personally.

Get PETA on your ass. Then I'll send those blogs to your families. Do you get the drift? ↗
