It took me a long time to reach the bottom and it went through various stages. I went from drugs into an alcohol stage. For a while, one feels, "Ah, I've kicked drugs," but what I discovered was I had another addiction instead.

The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.

Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.

In my madness I see your face in mine.

I'm not sure that an art career would have any benefit for me; I'm not sure it's what I want. I don't think I want to be a designer-rock artist.

[While] my life started taking on all the problems of addiction. So that took me off into an area where relationships were absolutely impossible to handle on any real level. . . . Even communicating with other people was impossible.

You'd like to know me well, but I've got things inside my head that even I can't face.
