I was an opportunist and got away with things because I was very young, but I went to prison and came out and remade my life.

Most people are fascinated by what I did as a teenager, but when I look back at my life, I don't think very much about those years. I was an opportunist and got away with things because I was very young, but I went to prison and came out and remade my life.

People say that life is short, but it isn't short. It's very long.

It's quite flattering to have Leonardo DiCaprio play you in the movie. He's a great-looking young man.

I went to the library and learned how checks work. I found out that routing numbers are like zip codes: the checks are sent to the bank that correlates to the routing number. If I manipulate those numbers to a bank far away, it would take longer to get back to the bank, which gave me more time to write more bad checks.
