And his father told him after while. Imagine what that can do for a ten-year-old child. And me, I speak with him and I was interested in all that because I was writing and I simply said to him: ‘But are you mad at your father for not telling you?’ And he said to me: ‘No, I blame my mother for being dead.’“
