I made myself miserable.”“I felt like there were so many paintings I was supposed to hold up in the air and that the success and good things in life that were happening were only because of this exhaustion…
Discipline and whatever. Perhaps to some extent that is true. I don’t know. I can’t say because that’s what I was like.Parsons also added that many factors played a role in his declining health at that time, including his work ethic and obsession with certain things, which caused him to miss many moments in his life.
