Paper Moon didn't bring me love.
I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.
I've overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.
I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.
I have a temper, but I wouldn't call me abusive.
As Peter Bogdanovich would say of Paper Moon: Ryan's wonderful in it, and he sat there and watched the kid steal the picture.
