“Freedom is connected to responsibility. If you don't have responsible behavior you’re not really free because you're a slave to your emotions. You need a sense of responsibility, and you also need a sense of being in control of your life; being able to make choices. Without choices, there's no freedom”    -Jerome Lecat
