Quote #43

I am dismayed at the readers who lap up the lies and believe them like the Bible, but I have to hand it to the guys who created the image.... I really shouldn't blame the readers 'cause I kind of get caught up in the stories myself. But when I start believing I might really possess all the powers attributed to me and I try to work a whammy on my prison guard - he or she shuts the prison door in my face. Back to reality. I realize I am only what I've always been: a half-assed nothing.'
