00:21 and I did especially. Every day I loved him unconditionally. And he me. And I'm broken.
00:27 Broken hearted. Sweet dreams, Matty. Sweet dreams." In his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big
00:34 Terrible Thing, Perry shared he wanted another aspect of his life included in his legacy,
00:39 the way he helped others, writing, "When I die, I know people will talk about friends, friends,
00:44 friends. And I'm glad of that. Happy I've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given
00:49 people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web. But when I die, as far as
00:55 my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if friends were listed far behind the things I did
01:00 to try to help other people." Perry was open about his own struggles with addiction throughout his
