"I know what it’s like to feel trapped—like there is something inside of you that desperately wants out in some form of self-expression or self-improvement. The feeling that you might have a gift to put forth that has the possibility to effect change when everything feels uncertain and hopeless. Johnny also walks a fine line between wanting to make himself a better person and contribute to society and on the other hand wanting to self-destruct and selfishly say, “screw it.” I struggle with that kind of feeling daily just by turning on the news."
