"Once you've reached an age of accountability and you make a mistake, you don't have any excuses. But, there are explanations and only a fool does not seek to understand why he or she makes a mistake... Whenever I am angry, or exhausted, or under great stress I was more likely to make a mistake, to run into the dark alley of my parallel lives... That is not an excuse, but it is a partial explanation."
