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."

I was snorting a lot of cocaine and I had lost myself to a great degree. A lot of people, everybody was starting to realize what the coke was all about and they were all starting to get lost.

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.

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

I felt that there was nothing wrong with what I was doing because I was supplying a product to people that wanted it and it was accepted. I mean nobody really was making any negative statements about marijuana.

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

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