I'm glad I've given up drugs and alcohol. It would be awful to be like Keith Richards. He's pathetic. It's like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.
Some people drink to unleash their libidos, and other people drink to prop up their egos.
My goal is to end mass incarceration and change the laws to stop locking up low-level, nonviolent drug charges. Stop charging drug addicts as criminals.

A yogi never forgets that health must begin with the body. . . . Physical health is not a commodity to be bargained for. Nor can it be swallowed in the form of drugs and pills. . . .
