'Well, I'm not going to stay here for ever.' He pauses a split second, delivers an unexpected 'Bye-bye', and slams the door.

I'm left like others before me, trying to work out just what he meant. 'I'm not going to stay here for ever.' Does he just mean, 'One day, I might move house.' Or is it a nod to the fate that awaits us all?



I have read this interview before and reading it a second time has made me think. Maybe this means he is going to kill himself? I mean, it's probarly a very small change but maybe he is very depressed about the death of his mother, his past and his lonelyness? (However you spell it).

What do you think?
