It's all part of my journey - I've done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.
You're chasing the dragon, you're chasing the high. A bird with one wing, who's still trying to fly.
I've been in rehabs with hardcore heroin addicts who say, 'I've kicked the heroin, but I can't let go of the tobacco.' I haven't smoked a cigarette in a long time. I like being clean now.
I grew up having to piss in a bucket ’cos there was no indoor shitter, and now I have these computerised Japanese super-loo things that have heated seats and wash and blow-dry your arse at the touch of a button. Give it a couple of years and I’ll have a bog with a robot arm that pulls out my turds, so I don’t have to strain.
I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.
The road to nowhere leads to me.
You can never take the violence back.
I'm like a junky without an addiction.
I don’t know whose brilliant idea that was, but it wasn’t mine, that’s for sure.
You can choose, don't confuse, win or lose, it's up to you.
I am a raging alcoholic, but I don't want my kids to do the same.
I keep hearing this [expletive] thing that guns don't kill people, but people kill people. If that's the case, why do we give people guns when they go to war? Why not just send the people?
I've had every known chemical--cocaine, booze--and tobacco is the hardest one in the world for me to quit. You watch old flicks? It's suggestion by looking at something: You see a cigarette, and it makes you want to smoke!
At 18 if someone had said to me, 'I think you should go to rehab,' I would have thought, 'You're #*&!@ mad'.
