When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.

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!

Every junkie is like a setting sun.

I've seen the needle and the damage done.

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

Once you've seen a solution to the disease that's tearing you apart, relapsing is never fun.
