Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.

I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes.

I always thought that feminine, softer side was just too vulnerable to put out there, because then it's like you're opening up a door for everybody to come in, and you don't know who's going to come in that door.

I believe in having certain releases, certain outlets. One has to indulge. If you don't indulge, you don't live -might as well be dead. I believe in indulging as a user and not as an abuser.

I've had more misrepresentations than I can handle, and people have told the wickedest lies about me. A lot of them have taken their frustrations out on me, and I don't like that because it can wound. Not necessarily me, but those around me. Journalists can be so bad.

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.
