In the first clip from “how can you not love” Faye Dunaway and a young Mickey Rourke (the good ole days) in Barfly, I learn not to be afraid of expressing how I really feel. — See the clips:

Charles Bukowski, Barfly

Faye Dunaway: “Do you hate people?”
Mickey Rourke (Charles Bukowski): “I don’t hate them…I just feel better when they’re not around.”
