I think music and socialism and politics have always gone hand in hand. As artists we used to be way more instrumental in providing a soundtrack to the heartbeat of what`s going on in the world.

There is such a fear of termination of one`s career if they have any intelligent thought about politics and that`s messed up.

How could that work? Yet there I was, the guy that struck gold, looking around at dawn to find that the only one still partying was me. I`d be drinking away, doing blow (cocaine), popping pills, and telling myself I wasn`t an addict, because there wasn`t a needle stuck in my arm. Talk about mixing up fantasy and reality! My true addiction was alcohol. The extra toxic boosters just helped me shore up the wall between my celebrity self and my real self. The questions I was running from were: `Is this success all a fluke? Had I been fooling everybody so far? Will I get caught?` It was easy to get hammered and messed up. But in doing so, I buried my self-respect, I buried my self-esteem, I buried my creative drive, and I damned near buried myself. - On filming Wall Street (1987) and his life at the time.

If you walked by a street and you was walking on the concrete and you saw a rose growing from the concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.

Frustrating, I take the blame for Richmond. I got in over my head a little bit and I messed up my qualifying, something that is pretty simple. I just got down too low and made a driver mental error. And from there we were behind the eight ball. We had a big media day announcing General Mills and with everything else going on I just want to forget about that day all together.
