Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.
After a while, the cocaine - I didn't have any friends. I was just alone and I didn't even like myself.
People don't grow up to become thrill junkies - they're born like that.
All I can say is that my ambition far exceeded my talent.
I've had so many great experiences in my life, of living total free will, that I wouldn't change it for all the gold in the earth.
I thought cocaine was a fantastic drug. A wonder drug, like everybody else. It gave you [an] energy burst. You could stay awake for days on end, and it was just marvelous and I didn't think it was evil at all.
