“I spent the best years of my life being a drunk.”

“Until I was 21, I was a millionaire. Then I was a six-quid-a-week van driver.”

“I look at what I've gone through and I'm happy I'm still alive.”

“The only thing I was fit for was acting.”

“When you're a child star, you think it's going to last forever. Then you're 19, you're spotty and you're not so cute any more.”

“To think, I was once a millionaire. I had a house, a Bentley, a speedboat. I had everything and I just threw it all away.”

“I was the toast of the town. I had a top-ten album and a top-ten single, I was a teenage millionaire. I was a rock-and-roll god.”

“I was told I had cancer of the mouth. I was devastated. But I am a fighter.”

“My main ambition is to be a successful character actor.”
