So I, for my family, I said: man Ricky, how can I do this and pretend, pretend that I'm this, this law-abiding citizen- and because I'm not doing drugs but I'm feeding this crap to the same people that I love and the people that I'm talking to. I had to get honest with the people around me and get honest with more than anybody.
