I've been using narcotics for 20 years.

People, chained by monotony, afraid to think, clinging to certainties... they live like ants.

I studied at the Budapest Academy of Theatrical Arts for four years and emerged with a degree.

My body grew hot, then cold. I tried to eat the bed sheets. My heart beat madly. Every joint in my body ached. When I took the cure they took it all away from me.

Time is a purgatory that has cleansed all fury from my memories.
