Celebrity Drug Confessions

"I hate heroin because I’ve been fascinated by it. I’m not immune, but I won’t do it now, at all."

"Pretty much any drug you can name, I've done it."

"I’ve slept with too many women, done too many drugs and been to too many parties. I loved acid when I was at college. It was an escape. I liked mushrooms. They were like easy acid. I did like blow...Blow would dress you up for a party, but never take you there. You’re always like. This is going to be great! Then you’re just depressed."

"The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared. "

"I ended up on a shrink’s couch, and he told me to write down how much I did in a week: 20 E’s, 4 grams of coke, six of speed, half an ounce of hash, three bottles of Jack Daniel’s, 12 bottles of red wine, 60 pints."

"I only tried Vicodin once. Drugs have a weird effect on me. They do the opposite with me. I just chewed the entire inside of my mouth. I bitched at everybody. And I was in more pain. It was the worst experience of my life. So I’m happy to say that none of my pharmaceuticals — and I had a plethora of them given to me — influenced me."

"I did the drug thing very young and wised up very young too, because I was into drugs a little too much.

"I was entrepreneurial even then, buying quarter pounds of dope and trying to make a couple of bucks."

"I still smoke a lot of pot when I write music."

"I don't consider pot a drug, It's a plant. It comes from the earth. George Washington smoked pot."

"I still love unusual hallucinogenic drugs. If I could have my pick, it would be magic mushrooms."

"My business is sex, drugs, rock and roll. You know? My friends, we have a good time. But as you get older and you get wiser - you stop a lot of the kid stuff. Trust me. I partied my tail off. You get to a point where... the party’s over."

"Cannabis keeps me sane and happy. I’d say it’s a great drug - but obviously it’s not very healthy. You can’t afford to smoke it if you’ve got anything to do."

"I take full responsibility for my actions. I also accept that there are various personal issues that I need to address and have started taking the difficult, yet necessary, steps to resolve them."

"I was at a concert in a European country and I was offered cocaine. It made me feel invincible. Like I could conquer the world. I was just completely over-confident, but it’s all a misconception because when you wake up the next day it’s all gone and you feel awful. And the more you take drugs, the more you want. And that’s how you become an addict."

"I've done drugs, and that's how I know I don't like them.

"I tried several things in order to make an informed decision, but I didn't enjoy anything other than marijuana."

"I don't even think of marijuana as a drug - it should be legalised"

"I’ always stumble back on it sooner or later, even if it’s for half an hour a day. There was no shame, because I kind of knew they were just lonely p***ed-up old queens. And £20 was a lot of money!"

"I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances. I ran myself down and lost track of who I was."

"People in this business use cocaine and crack, but I never wanted to put that in my body. Why would I? I tried pot when I was 18 or 19. But it just made me scared to leave the house."

"Without cigarettes, I would be doing heroin, probably, on a daily basis. "

"You name it, I took it. Cocaine, ecstasy, even heroin - although I never injected... I had a job so I looked like I was holding everything together. But then the cracks started to show."

"I grew up with drugs, but it wasn’t until recently, that I grew out of them."

"See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do, and if you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn ‘em. ’cause you know the musicians who made all that great music that’s enhanced your lives throughout the years.... rrrrrrrrreal f**kin high on drugs."

At the time you don’t give a s**t if you pop your clogs. I must have been very, very close. I would have carried on, to be honest.

It was the American addiction. Prescription drugs… I would do 20 Vicodin in a night. It was a painkiller.

“I liked it, it makes me nice, and I’m basically by nature a curmudgeon, so smoking pot makes you very pleasant.”

“I did cocaine all the time for about 10 years.”

"My mind seemed to have a huge neon sign in it that blinked nonstop: COKE. GET COKE. So I did. It was great for dieting, partying and picking up my mood."

"If someone wants to do drugs...as long as he or she isn’t corrupting minors or driving under the influence or endangering others, shouldn’t a person have that right?"

"I've done plenty of illegal narcotics, but I think everyone knowingly breaks the law pretty often, don't they ? I can't imagine living my life abiding by the law completely. That'd be tough to do."

"The drug was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with. I dug deep as to why I got there."

"I was like a trash can - I took everything."
