I don’t mind anyone drinking in front of me now, but they can’t chop lines in front of me. They just can’t do it. I don’t know. I always used to hate lines. I remember hanging out with Liam Gallagher years ago and he was doing blow in front of me and I was like, “Can’t you just stop?”. He was like, “Do it, do it!” and I was hating that shit. Then when I got to be 35 years old I started doing it and I didn’t stop for, like, four years. Explain that! Isn’t that weird? Starting at 35? Having never done it before. Because to me cocaine was always a more bourgeois thing, or it was for dumb metalheads. Then after I became a film actor I was around fashion a lot. So you’d be sitting there with, like, [two supermodels] and they’d be naked and there’d be a Jackson Pollock on the wall and a Picasso on the wall and you’d be in a $100,000 couture gown, and I remember calling up my old bass player Melissa [Auf Der Mar] and saying, “OK, I’m going to try cocaine. We’re going to be Scarface. There’s a guy who keeps walking in with a platinum plate and platinum straws and offering me coke, so let’s just go for it.” We did it. We did it for two days non-stop with some of the richest people in the world and some of the most beautiful people in the world and we ended up at six in the morning outside a club called Twilo with Dave Navarro in little silver shorts going, “Let’s go get some smack.” I mean, this is a downward spiral however you slice it.
