It's difficult to talk about, you know, my inadequacies, my inability to stay sober when I'm a relatively bright man and I've had a lot of great blessings and a lot of great opportunities.

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.

At the end of the spectrum when you get to that 12th step, when you have that spiritual awakening we make ourselves available to help other people.

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

I don't really drink very much, although I have abused alcohol in the past.

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