Because I don't think you ever tell anybody the truth…

“Because I don't think you ever tell anybody the truth. You're awake at two in the morning. You look like shit. You're exhausted. When I invite you in here, when I ask you how it's going, you think I'm going to fucking buy it that you're fine ? You think that's what I want you to say?” quote by Robin York
