When I was young, times were hard. When I got older it was worse.
I'll sleep when I'm dead.
I wrote my songs despite the fact that I was a drunk, not because of it.
There's nothing romantic, nothing grand, nothing heroic, nothing brave, nothing like that about drinking. It's a real coward's death.
Maybe you simply criticized someone you hardly knew. You ruined part of their life. For them, part of your life, too.
Enjoy every sandwich.
