I woke up. I was like, "Look, you can do anything you want - and you want a lot of things, so you should get to work."

People think because 'Vice' is irreverent and because we're crazy, we're stunt journalists. You know what? I don't actually care.

I don't care if I die - look, I'm old - but you want your kids to have good times and a good life. I became sort of aware. I used to get so angry.

Success. Money. Fame. Whatever you're going after. You have one kick at the can, I always say. It's very rare that you have many kicks at the can. You're there at the right place at the right time, you have your shot, and it either works or it doesn't. And I've had many shots.

When you're 18, 19, you want to live fast and leave a beautiful corpse behind.

Sometimes we ask ourselves 'Why?' Why do I continue to smile, to give, to live? Why do I continue to stand, despite the ferocity of the wind that keeps blowing, that keeps slapping against my face, creating a pressure that says 'fall'? Why I don't I listen to those who call me a fool because I continue to love despite my hurt? I don't know what tomorrow brings; I don't know if my troubles will seize or if my sorrows will continue. But this much I do know - I will continue to hold out, I will continue to press on, until my blessing comes.

I don't care if I die - look, I'm old - but you want your kids to have good times and a good life.
