Spoken by the character Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding in the film The Shawshank Redemption (1994), the line comes during Red's voice-over narration about his life behind bars. It appears as a quiet, first-person admission delivered in a restrained tone. The line is memorable for its plain language and the intimate narration that pulls focus to the character's inner state.
