“If only my life could be more like the movies. I want an angel to sweep down to me like it does to Jimmy Stewart in It’s A Wonderful Life and talk me out of suicide, I’ve always waited for that one moment of truth to set me free and change my life forever, but he wont come, it doesnt happen that way. All the drugs, all the therapy, fights, anger, guilt, rave, suicidal thoughts, all of that was part of some slow recovery process, the same way I went down I came back up, gradually… and then suddenly. The pills weren’t the cure at all, God knows, but they gave me breathing space which allowed me to start writing again only this time it was not as if my life depended on it.” – Prozac Nation, 2001
