I never used my words, and I didn’t know how to. I used my body.”

And I don't know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
Between the darkness and the dawn”

Even had they been patched, he would still have looked the well-dressed gentleman. Unlike myself, it never occurred to him to pawn or sell his clothes in order to eat. He had need of his good clothes.”

"We do not feel sorry for them," my mother said sternly, "We understand how they feel.”

He probably needed to reach his destination more than anyone else on the bus, yet he lacked the capacity to ride without getting kicked off.

But I fear he got on another bus, and another bus after that, without going anywhere at all.”

There was a time when nobody believed in the reality of abuse, and now it seems that just about everyone does, and yet, I realize we could still move backwards. It is important to stay firm: It took many years for the truth about sexual abuse to come to the fore. It is still fragile, and must be constantly nourished by research, reflection and above all, listening with empathy and an open heart to the stories of people who have been the victims of child abuse in its many forms and are now survivors. They have much to teach.”

My dad gave me a very professional attitude to the music business, and for that I thank them 100%.”
