Anthony didn't have an "average" up-bringing,therefor he's weird.With a life like his and being exposed to it,he was bound to go a little loopy.

Back to the question,Michael perhaps, could have told Anthony that his mother was a "bad person" etc


The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
