I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.

The nice thing about us lot is that what we do is of no consequence. We don't do things that are important; we spend our lives doing things which are not important. That's what's nice about us, we're not pompous. We never do anything very bad that's gonna change the world. We're not serious, we're butterflies. We live for a day.

I do sometimes think I could have done without the drugs actually; that was a waste of time, and a huge risk. But then again, there's nothing I can change, so in a way regret is pointless.

If you analyze the bad times you find that it's because you wanted to have a bad time.

I've learnt to accept what has happened to my voice, I suppose, but I do wish it didn't sound quite so rough.

It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.

The really explicit phrase is doors of perception.
