"Obviously, normal people don't go out to work drunk, but for an alcoholic, it's entirely normal to go out of your brain. That's what I did for years. But hopefully not anymore, hopefully. The last show we played in Paris, I was straight as a die. It did feel weird not to be hiding behind alcohol or dope, but being focused was good."

Stones Sober
"Keith (Richards) still has a few, but even he has been watching himself recently. Mostly we are all very well behaved these days. Charlie (Watts) doesn't touch anything now and Mick (Jagger) will only have a glass of wine on a night off. But it's easier for them - alcohol is in my genes." Quote from: Age Makes Rolling Stones Sober
Drugs & Drinking
"Dope, cocaine, heroin - though I never did like injecting, fortunately, and it was that that probably saved me from OD'ing. I've been lucky: I've lost so many friends to that ... I just think my body can't handle it anymore. I did try a little drink a while back, and I was actually physically ill. I went into an immediate depression, and felt awful, just dreadful. So that's it. I'm over it now. I am."
