Every True Artist Is At

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.

I'm An Artist And I Get Very Attached To My Own Little Ditties.

There Was An Uncommon Array Of People In There [rehab] With Me, And I Became Friends With All Of Them. You Recognize The Possibility Of Your Own Demise In The Lives Of These Other People. You're Doing The Same Thing They Are, But You Can't See It In Yourself. However, You Start Seeing All Of These Tragedies And Potential Miracles In Other People. It's A Real Eye- And Heart-opening Situation.

It's Weird, I Was Such A Survivor And So Wanted To Be A Part Of Life While I Was Trying To Snuff Out The Life That Was Inside Of Me. I Had This Duality Of Trying To Kill Myself With Drugs, Then Eating Really Good Food And Exercising And Going Swimming And Trying To Be A Part Of Life. I Was Always Going Back And Forth On Some Level.

Now I Can Look Back And Say I Actually Like The Upbringing I Had And My Father Was Very Attentive And A Great Educator.
