But as far as the character's psychology or emotional life goes, I treat it just the same. — Colin Farrell

In this sense, littering is an exceedingly petty version of claiming a billion-dollar bank bailout or fraudulently claiming disability payments. When you throw trash on the ground, you apparently don't see yourself as truly belonging to the world that you're walking around in.
