• Terminó de repente para Brenda, más lentamente para mí. Mis carreras empezaron a ser más cortas y menos placenteras. Me sentía mal después de sólo un día, o sólo unas horas, en lugar de cuatro o cinco días. Y empecé a querer dejarlo.

Un tipo me puso coca debajo de las narices y fui capaz de decir: "No, gracias", y apartar la cabeza.

• When I first started drinking, everybody was doing it. That was before they discovered marijuana and all that. It was the late 50s, early 60s - it was the beginnings of the rock 'n' roll era. The main drink was like wine. And even that was a romantic throwback to something.
