One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

When I was younger, I was always described as happy-go-lucky. Then I drank and I partied - did all that stuff that might tell you maybe there was a little bit of untruth in that [description].

I just really have a good time.
