Let's take the makeup off and see what that's... So as soon as you start to bend over for the soap, it's not long before you become somebody's bitch.

And I don't want to use creative language here, but you lose yourself.

And it's difficult to go on a long journey.

Well, we had Peter, quote, leave the band for the first time.

He, quote, left the band three different times.

By the way, we didn't either.

There was a lot of money.

So your perspective of, uh-oh, the world is going to collapse, is different when you've got a big wad of cash in your life.

And so there's a sense that if the worst happened, you'll be okay.

I know at one point I'm going to die.

I don't like that.

I object.

No, I thought I was impervious, that I could do anything, and it was the same...

blind delusion that made me think I could get in a band and we could be, you know, one of the biggest bands ever and I can act and I can do movies.

And it seemed anything I tried.

I had my own record company and managed Liza Minnelli and, quote, discovered Van Halen.

Anything I wanted to do, it seemed like I couldn't fail because I had that...

Well, I had the loose screw anyway, I'm sure, and you do too, and a lot of people that get up on stage, because you've got to be out of your minds to pick this thing, because you're putting all your eggs in a basket, right?

So once you have a cushion of money, it's certainly better.

Somebody once said, money's not going to make you happy.
