The Black Dog Interviews: 'Sorry, I'm diabetic'

"It’s not something I’m ashamed of. I’m proud of what it’s made me. Sometimes I’m lying in bed thinking, “why the hell do I have this?”I’ve done my stint, now it’s somebody else’s turn. I’ve done fifteen years of this through probably the hardest part of a lifetime. I want someone else to take it. I feel that a lot."
