"I've always in my life I've kind of made a deal with myself or I just the way I am," he says. "The thing I've always been able to do is when the truth is starkly plainly in front of my face I don't reject that I accept it no matter how painful it is and that was the moment I could not pretend anymorethat my narcissism and my grandiosity and my self-worship was working it wasn't right" He's thankful his movie tanked because if it had done a hundred million at the box office, he would have stayed like this for rest of his life.
