“I loved my wife. I was faithful to my wife from the very minute I
straightened up. I tried desperately to never feel anything else for any
other woman. But…[breathes deeply] Everything that made Daisy
burn, made me burn. Everything I loved about the world, Daisy loved
about the world. Everything I struggled with, Daisy struggled with. We
were two halves. We were the same. In that way that you’re only the
same with a few other people. In that way that you don’t even feel like
you have to say your own thoughts because you know the other person
is already thinking them. How could I be around Daisy Jones and not
be mesmerized by her? Not fall in love with her?
I couldn’t.
I just couldn’t.
But Camila meant more. That’s just the very deepest truth. My
family meant more to me. Camila meant more to me. Maybe, for a little
while there, Camila wasn’t the person I was the most drawn to. Or…
…
…
…
Maybe Camila wasn’t the person I was the most in love with. At
that time. I don’t know. You can’t…Maybe she wasn’t. But she was
always the person I loved the most. She was always the person I would
choose.
It is Camila, for me. Always.
Passion is…it’s fire. And fire is great, man. But we’re made of
water. Water is how we keep living. Water is what we need to survive.
My family was my water. I picked water. I’ll pick water every time. And
I wanted Daisy to find her water. Because I couldn’t be it.”
