In fact, I was welcomed. There were movie stars and rock stars. I became a pot star. I glorified in that. And of course as time wore on the business began to expand and grow. It went from more or less a college fun thing to a serious business. As the money grew, the power grew.

Basically I was no different than a rock star or a movie star. I was a coke star.

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.

Nixon wasn't really considered the president by the youth of America. He was considered to be a fraud and which he proved himself to be.

Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.

So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

People don't grow up to become thrill junkies - they're born like that.
