About This Quote
The idea of being the only person to take the risks that others avoid is a powerful one. While I may have been risking my life, I also had a powerful advantage that no one else had. I knew exactly what was coming, and I could prepare for it. I didn't mind walking into danger on my own. Not the concept of it, anyway.
