The only time I’ve been out of control was when I was free-basing cocaine. In less than two years I smoked away a couple of apartment buildings I owned, my house, my antique store, my hardware store, and my career. I stayed up for as long as ten days at a time. If I ate at all, it was half a taco from the Taco Bell drive-through every four days. I went from 170 pounds to 142 pounds. I was so emaciated that I couldn’t shoot movies any more. I hadn’t had sex in six months, and all my wealthy female tricks were gone.
