Don't waste your death on a half assed life

Artists are very young, and say, Um, ok, to these industry dudes.

I used to think the only way to be truly alive is to confront your mortality.

I'm finding that people reading the book [The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star] are saying, "You came from one background, I came from this background - you were a rock star, I was a CEO. I didn't have a heroin/coke problem, but I had a pill problem. But I also fell from grace, didn't know how to get recovery, and I am now in recovery." People tell me that their kids read it and told them they'll never do drugs - "This book really shows me where it goes."

I look back at things I said when I was younger - it was bulls - t. You do what you have to do to go where you have to go, but I look back and I don't believe what that guy was saying.

Every day, I wake up, and the first thing I think of is my kids.

In my own life I like to be poised and have a positive outlook on life, and I'm leading by example to my children and people around me.
