“Over the years, my heart shrivelled up. I do realised I’m not easy; I know I’m grumpy, but it’s my way of protecting myself. When you get fond of people, you suffer. I don’t want to love anyone again, and I don’t want to be loved. There are people who swear they’ll never have a dog again when they lose one. Well, I swear I’ll never get close to anyone again.”
