There were a lot of drugs. We kinda just passed the time that way. For a couple of years we were all doin' anything we could get our hands on.

I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna.

Music is the career I'm lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions.

A lot of power-pop comes out of LA, a lot of speed metal comes out of New York.

Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.

There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.

I don't think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.

I don't do much else but stay in my hotel room.

I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn't afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing.

Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.

Every article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this - that ain't my title.

I haven't read anything but regurgitated rumors. Nothing new, and nothing true.

I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.

I guess I can go anywhere I want. If only I knew where to go.

When everyone goes home, you're stuck with yourself.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go, I still come home me.

My bed isn't made, I'm tired, I haven't slept well for two weeks. I haven't been laid in a month. I don't have a girlfriend. I have a warrant for my arrest.

My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.

The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!

Drugs are not the way to the light. They won't lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.

I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things?

Drugs will have a huge effect on my work for the rest of my life, whether I'm using or not.

Being me is no different than being most anyone else, I guess.

One of the first bands to break out of Seattle was Heart.

Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be.

I sing like a lark.

Andrew Wood's death changed things for a few weeks. I probably got even heavier into drugs after that.

People have a right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you.

I don't take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That's still there if you want it, but I don't really seek that out any more.

We try to be real nice and friendly to people, but sometimes they take advantage of that.

We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.

We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.

At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music.

We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.

There were a lot of drugs. We kinda just passed the time that way. For a couple of years we were all doin' anything we could get our hands on.

Kurt and I weren't the closest of friends, but I knew him well enough to be devastated by his death. For such a quiet person, he was so excited about having a child.

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.

There are lasting consequences for using drugs. I'll still be paying for my prior use.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted. But no matter where I go, I still come home.

Being me is no different than being most anyone else I guess.

Plan Colombia was supposed to reduce Colombia's cultivation and distribution of drugs by 50 percent, but 6 years and $4.7 billion later, the drug control results are meager at best.

While I recognize the great value and importance of prescription drugs and strongly support a continued U.S. focus on pharmaceutical research and development, our nation's seniors cannot be asked to subsidize the drug costs of other wealthy industrialized nations any longer.

I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for me.

I was 48-years old before anybody talked me into it for medicinal purposes, instead of some of these drugs that they give you that will lead you to heart surgery and things of that nature.

I was a gang leader. Although, it was a gang for defensive purposes. It was not a gang to sell drugs.

Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.

Previously people were treated anonymously particular on a drugs situation which is obviously highly emotive. They have been treated anonymously even after the verdict had been reached.

Drugs are a bet with your mind.
