Just look at the pictures while reading. I've just always loved looking at the pictures of David Bowie. All the stuff I would read was when I was 17, and I would buy coke on the streets; every day I would. Whatever days I, you know, I was starving, so I didn't have money, but I would manage, and days that I couldn't manage, I would just look up all the sections in the Bowie biography that I had, in the index, where it said cocaine, so I would feel like I had taken coke, you know. But, yeah, I just look at the pictures
Why did you wanna have to be on coke so bad?
'Cause it's great. 'Cause it made me feel great. And plus, I just thought it was cool, I just saw David Bowie do this cooler stuff when he was on a lot of coke, and that stuff, and that feeling, and that image, is just the whole reason I got into rock and roll in the first place. Like, my sexuality and drugs were the two things in life that I related to rock and roll, and my overall image of it when I was about 9 or 10 years old. That was the whole world that I felt within me that wasn't going on around me, that was part of everyday living, and that, that gave me a reason to live, to feel like I actually did have a place where other people felt the same feelings for life that I did. And so, when I was 17, I had never really done any drugs in my whole life, and instead of practicing guitar 10 to 15 hours a day, which is what I have been doing for 5 years, I was just gonna live life; do cocaine and wear make-up every day. I would go buy it from Mexican guys. I would be wearing full make-up, you know, and pink pants, and then, my Mexican guy thought it was cool
[?], I mean, what does it mean to you?
It's just the way of making sure you stay in touch with beauty, instead of letting the ugly sit alone, corrupt your, you know, soul
