Jimmy and I started talking very personally. A couple of times before this I had seen him be cold or abrupt with people - but these things aways ended in something causing pain for him. He was always putting people through a series of circus hoops before letting them get close. He was like Marlon: he ate people - consumed all they knew, their mannerisms, all he could use as an artist. Everyone was a source for his creativity. He really wanted to be a participant in life. But he was constantly fucking himself over by behavior designed to alienate people.
