"You know I love pot, and I love beer, but I am totally sober, just because it completely stopped working for me. ."

"Music that I really love and believe in and think is extraordinarily honest and beautiful doesn't always become popular. ."

"When I do think, "Man a fucking motel room with a couple of thousand dollars' worth of narcotics would do me right," I just look over at my dog and remember that Buster's never seen me high. ."

"There were times when all Hillel and I had was each other. We were fucked up and understood what it was to be living in an out-of-control fog. ."

"The fact that I was a junkie for a long time is only one slice of my own personal pie, which is made up of a lot of different slices.."

"The existence of sexual energy is such an every-day part of life. It's such a natural aspect of life. That we end up relating to without any shame. ."

"I knew there was never anyone to blame when people get into drugs. They're always responsible for their own behavior, and it's not the dealer, and it's not the friend, it's not the childhood. ."
