"Guilt is a weird thing to me. I don't have a lot of it"
About this Quote
The intent reads as image-management through anti-management. Dick isn't polishing his reputation; he's leaning into the mess, trying to control the narrative by refusing the premise that he should be apologizing on cue. In a celebrity culture that treats public remorse as both currency and spectacle, claiming a scarcity of guilt is a way to opt out of the expected ritual. It's also a provocation: if you already think he's reckless, here's him confirming it, but with enough comedic timing to make judgment feel like overreaction.
The subtext is more complicated than pure amorality. A statement like this can double as armor: if guilt doesn't stick, neither does shame, and if shame doesn't stick, consequences become easier to outrun. Coming from a comic actor whose public persona has often blurred into tabloid chaos, it plays like dark self-awareness - an admission packaged as banter, asking for tolerance without quite asking for forgiveness.
