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

The war on drugs was an ideology the government came up with, and there never really was a war on drugs. I mean, to stop the importation of drugs into the United States of America is an impossibility.

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

Danbury wasn't a prison, it was a crime school. I went in with a Bachelor of marijuana, came out with a Doctorate of cocaine.

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.

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

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