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.

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. I put it almost in the same category as marijuana, only hell of a lot better. It was a tremendous energy boost. It gave the feeling, a high, but nobody knew, well maybe a small percentage of people knew. But eventually everybody knew how evil it really was.

Strange thing, when they arrested me for the pot, the federal agents, they said, "We're sorry, we really don't want to bust pot people but this is tied into a heroin operation and we have to arrest you."

Life's a rodeo and all you have to do is stay in the saddle.

May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face, and the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.

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.
