SLOAN: I don’t know who told you you’re a bad guy, but somebody did, somebody along the way. Somebody or something convinced you of it because you think you’re a bad guy, and you’re just not. I’m socially inept, but even I know that. So because you’re a bad guy, you try to do things you think a good guy would do, like committing to someone you like but maybe don’t love.
