"There were a few times in the last couple of years where I was ready to throw in the towel, ready to kind of give up on everything, but I found that for me, most of my suffering is self-inflicted; it`s not like it`s coming from some external source that`s making me feel that way. No one can make you feel anything. It`s what you think about internally that makes you feel things. You are the only person that makes you feel things," says Chester in an old interview ( above )
