Gambling is the child of avarice, the brother of iniquity, and the father of mischief.

I realized, 'Yo, I can't do anything in moderation. I don't know how.

I'm off everything apart from the fags and the coffee. I don't know if it's worked. It works up until you take your first drink.

The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains, planes, wine bars... and quite a few car parks!

I tell my kids no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. But the world is so competitive that if you're stuck on drugs or alcohol, you're not going to be able to compete. It's going to be a disaster. And you know, it potentially can ruin your life.

I neither want it [brandy] nor need it, but I should think it pretty hazardous to interfere with the ineradicable habit of a lifetime.
