I think it’s the misperception of addiction and living life on the edge, as if it’s cool.

There's nothing beautiful about somebody killing themselves.

If you're an addict, if you drink and you're putting a depressant into your body, it's going to cause serious problems.

I really believe that we all have the ability to come out of our story. But you have to tell your story first in order to come out of it.

We live in a society running from pain through alcohol, through too much exercise, through sugar, through drugs - as opposed to realizing that these things come up because they are lessons. It's a way to wake you up.

I think we should be passionately curious about what we do.

Number one, we have to talk about mental illnesses. Number two, you can actually address things from a purer and honest direct line to what's been going on in your life and how you've been feeling and why you think the way you think. I do think there is a genetic predisposition for mental illness, for depression, for suicide, but I also think that lifestyle can change things. If you're an addict, if you drink and you're putting a depressant into your body, it's going to cause serious problems.
