My money buys me the freedom not to be a member of the corporate structure. And I certainly don't feel guilty or hypocritical about that.

Sometimes, when I was really loaded, I'd sit on the floor and sort out every nut and bolt in the house. It was just sheer insanity. And often there'd be speed in the cut, so I was a speed freak, too.

My father? My father left when I was quite young. Well actually, he was asked to leave. He had trouble metabolizing alcohol.
