Stuart: A Life Backwards2007

[Alexander plays a tape in his car that Stuart gave him]

Stuart Shorter:
Hi Alexander. It's Stuart.

Alexander Masters:
Hello, Stuart.

Stuart Shorter:
...I've had lots to drink and that. I can't help reflect, about my brother, and my brother's friend. And they didn't believe me. And they didn't care. And the abuse, being asked to do things that I wouldn't have thought possible that anyone, could ask of an eleven year old. I just head-butted. And head-butted, and head-butted. The more you speak, the more you disbelieve. And no one listened to any thing I had to say. And I just sit here drinking, having mad conversations with myself. Talking about mutilating myself. Killing myself. Dragging down those who are responsible. I want to just lay down and die. I feel so dirty and f***ing horrible. Hating and attacking anyone I get close to. I just wish there could be an escape from this madness.
