After a while, the cocaine - I didn't have any friends. I was just alone and I didn't even like myself.

All I can say is that my ambition far exceeded my talent.

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.

I hope there's a life after life - and maybe I can even come back again and get on another train, and ride and gain some more wisdom.

The official toxicity limit for humans is between one and one and half grams of cocaine depending on body weight. I was averaging five grams a day, maybe more. I snorted ten grams in ten minutes once. I guess I had a high tolerance.

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

I thought heroin was evil and morally, myself, I thought that pot was okay. That it wasn't a bad thing and so therefore thought I wasn't doing a bad thing. I knew I was breaking the law but I thought that the law was wrong also. So I morally justified what I was doing.
