I was hanging out with no one under 21. I thought that if I really wanted to fit in I had to… show them that I was in a way just as adult as they...

Where I felt comfortable was being the one that everyone liked to party with. And it was kind of the way I could fit in.

No you’re not.

Well, all I can say is, it’s a day-by-day program, and so I’m very worried about relapsing, but I don’t know. I don’t want to use. I don’t want to go back to that place...

I didn’t get at first put into a rehab facility; I got put in a adolescent psychiatric unit for my detox.

I’ve been drinking and using since I was 13.

For a while I was suicidal and I tried to kill myself. I think I should have died about four times.

If I have a problem, stuff’s going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad… I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first...

Dad was just an emotional wreck. He was drinking a lot of the time, he was smoking a lot of pot. And because he takes certain medications, the drinking was making him… you know, he...

I have a tendency to really stuff things. I don’t really express, you know? Like, express certain feelings and stuff.

Back then it was a very realistic thing for me. My own thing was, you know, wake up at 5 in the afternoon, it’s dark out, hang out, maybe take a shower, then start drinking,...

It’s been real weird. It wasn’t how I expected my life to turn out. Especially, mainly pertaining to the show. It never crossed my mind that one day I’m gonna be big and famous and...

I don’t want to come off like the jealous brother who wasn’t getting the attention, but it was like no one was really into me anyway. I wasn’t really a priority.

I’m real clear, you know? There’s no fogginess.

I was interning at a record label – OK, cool. I’m gonna do what my mom did, you know, work her way up in the music industry, the business side of things. I was comfortable...

I went to a friend’s house and we just started using. I took myself out of the picture for a second, and I looked around at every single person in the room – at who...

As long as I know my head’s in the right place, my feet are on the ground, I think I’ll be fine.

I want to make the book as real as possible, but I can hardly remember a thing.

My mom, you can’t go wrong with my mom. I mean, she’s brilliant. She’s taught me a lot, you know, just about everything. The only thing I don’t like about her is that I think...

I’d read things, like people criticizing me. But no one likes to read stuff about that, and probably the main thing that was getting to me was me mum’s illness.

Kelly has a rather bad habit of interrupting.

There’s people outside our house; you get followed by photographers; you can’t go out and have a cup of coffee with a friend without someone coming up to you.

I took a bottle of pills. I’d been in Europe and I had a lot of absinthe and I was just drinking and drinking, trying to, you know, just shut my body down.
