Bruce: I'm able to go out and do a lot more things, and if I'm in trouble, I just press a button and people could find me easy.
[Visual: Bruce shows his art work]
Bruce: I like to do arts and work with my hands, and that gives me a bit of peace and tranquil in my life, yeah.

Bruce: I've made drums out PVC pipe. I've made metal drums out of Helium containers. I just generally like to make nothing into something. Yeah.
[Visual: Bruce gets help at a recycle centre]
Bruce: I do have people that help me from recycle centres. They get to know me and they'll say, "Oh, I think I got something for you", and then I make something out of it.
I have my own personal struggle some days, but my philosophy is never give up because, in the long run, you could just have a bad day and things might muck up, but tomorrow, you can make it better. Recycle it. That's what I'm saying. Just recycle it.
