She just kept hitting me in the head with her fists, over, and over and over.

I did try to leave, and she came running after me.

It was a real rough year and a half. I was getting 80 shots every four weeks.

But I thought love would more than prevail.

And I told her point blank, you've got everything to live for. You've got such talent. You're back singing great, lose the weight. And she went and did it, and look at her now!

Yeah, she was hitting me hard. She was drunk and she was hitting me hard.

No, but Liza took went and took away from me, possibly my livelihood.

I don't have to announce all the women I've slept with.

She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.

I'm into women. I've always loved women.

I was already set for life when I met her.

I'm really excited that I'm able to work again.

I was naive enough to think that I could make the difference.

But she told me she was never going to drink again.
