We sit at our consoles and play "Gears of War", but we don't see images from war. We don't turn on the news and see the evidence of war, the result of war. Maybe twice a year, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, we'll go out, we'll hang our flags, we'll try to inculcate in our children some sense of national honor for the fallen. But really, we don't see it. We just don't see the pictures. There's no drive-by on the freeway of death up close. So we don't really see bravery.

If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.

I want to be older. I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older. I feel way better now than I did when I was 20. I'm stronger, I'm smarter in every way, I'm so much less crazy than I was then.

I'm a disciplinarian. I'm the tough love pet owner. I believe in very well-behaved animals.

I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

You'll never see me in the front row of a fashion show. I'm uninterested in it; I find it trivial and banal and boring.

Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.
