I prefer to say that I am a beautiful person. But the addict is a horrible person.

For me, for the type of addict I am, when I start getting those swirly thoughts and stuff, and they talk about slippery places, slippery people and slippery things, you know, I need to - I needed to take my cell phone and eliminate all the phone numbers, change the phone numbers so no one I knew before could call me or reach me.

I'd just turned 50, weighed 285, and my doctor had read me the riot act about my health.

If you ask me if I think I will be sober in 24 hours time I can say yes, but in two years I can't tell you. I could be dead.

"Homicide: Life on the Street" is the best material I've had the chance to do.
