I was working on The Lost Boys (1987) when I smoked my first joint. But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas (1986). I lived in Los Angeles in the `80s, which was not the best place to be. I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack. I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day - the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the valium - I`m not talking about the other pills I went through.
- Corey HaimNever take ecstasy, beer, baccardi, weed, pepto bismol, vivarin, tums, tagamet hb, xanax, and valium in the same day. It makes it difficult to sleep at night.
- EminemI got so anxious sitting in the make-up chair for hours with my face covered. I had my doctor write a prescription for valium. I couldn`t have done it without the pill.
- Kim HunterIt can be. It can be crazier. It`s not popular to be an outlaw anymore, so if you get into some trouble now you really get into trouble. In the old days you could pretty much walk into anywhere in the states with a joint in your mouth and a copper would say, `Oh, you`re a rock star.` Now, going from state to state, if you get caught with a valium in your pocket, you go to jail overnight. It`s a little bit different but just as much fun.
