I like the idea of defying the convention of what it is to be in your 40s, or 50s, or 60s.

The fact that I was a junkie for a long time is only one slice of my own personal pie, which is made up of a lot of different slices.

I knew there was never anyone to blame when people get into drugs. They're always responsible for their own behavior, and it's not the dealer, it's not the friend, it's not the bad influence, it's not the childhood.

Every time you empty your vessel of that energy, fresh new energy comes flooding in.

We've just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we're happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me.

The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.

When you realize that there's a name and a description for this condition that you thought was insanity, you've identified the problem, and now you can do something about it.
