"I look back, it taught me something - it taught me how to live, how to be a better guy, not let defeat be the end of my life."

There has to be a womp on the side of the head that defeats and undercuts this game of performance. It has to fall apart. Now unfortunately, that very often does not happen until what I call the second half of life, when there's been enough death in the family and you start experiencing your own physical deterioration.
