“I don't want to paint a picture that drugs are by any means nice or a good thing to do, or anything like that. Yeah, absolutely, to wallow too much on the negativity, because I try and be positive about it and I think- and I don't particularly like doing this, but when you compare yourself with a lot of people that I've journeyed through drugs with, I didn't suffer too much.”
