Time & Perspective Quote by Mark Roberts

There is a sleight-of-hand in how the sentence cuddles self-destruction in the language of preference. "I just love" is the softest possible on-ramp to a hard admission; it frames compulsion as a lifestyle choice, like a favorite song on repeat. "Having a buzz" stays deliberately vague: not drunk, not high, not addicted. Buzz is the socially acceptable diminutive, the word you can say at a party without killing the mood. It’s chemical dependence translated into convivial slang.

Then the line yanks the mask off with "all the time". That phrase is where the charm curdles. It’s not a weekend indulgence, not even a bad habit, but a constant operating system. The kicker, "regardless of the consequences", reads like a shrug with teeth. It’s the kind of fatalism actors often smuggle into candor: a performance of honesty that also functions as a shield. If you announce you don’t care, no one can accuse you of not caring enough.

As an actor’s quote, it lands in a culture that has long treated self-medication as occupational folklore: the nerves, the downtime, the oscillation between being watched and being disposable. The intent isn’t moral argument; it’s confession with a wink, a line that flirts with the romantic myth of the damaged performer while exposing the bleak machinery underneath. The subtext is simple and brutal: pleasure has stopped being the point. Maintenance is.
