I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
When you're famous you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you and you don't see the real people.
