I was never able to have three of four beers. One's too many, and ten just ain't enough. Basically it's the way I've been since high school.

I've got the drinkers and the smokers and the eaters on my side.

Granted, I could go out and lose everything (by) gambling and drinking, but there's no sense in denying it. It's in my blood.

I know there's a lot of guys who would love to see me fail. Well, good. Let 'em. I'm glad.
