I ain't mad at you, you're gay and you're married: I ain't mad at you, go do it.

Frustration is bound to be there because you cannot find yourself by seeking; you are already there. The seeking has to stop, the search has to drop.

And everyone was mad about Ben Affleck. So every single incarnation, people are going to be mad; you just can't do anything about it.
