“Sometimes I think nobody ever really gets to understand anybody else. Which is a horrible thought. At least, to me it is. We’re locked up inside our own bodies for life. Solitary confinement for life. We scream inside ourselves, but nobody seems to hear. We’re born alone, we try to communicate with other people all our lives, and fail mostly, and then we die alone. It’s crazy.”
Buddy Rich (quoted in John Minahan, The Torment of Buddy Rich)
