He says he does not want to succeed; he wants to make sure other people fail. He says he wants people to see this plane of existence for what it truly is, for nobody is born on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere and everyone is going to die, and wants to make sure that as long as he is on the platform that he enlightens the younger kids in the business.
