When you see everybody around you doing it, you have those moments when you think: ‘To stay alive in this business, do I need to do the same thing?’ I won’t lie and tell you those things don’t cross my mind, because somebody is always suggesting it to me. It’s almost like crack that people are trying to push on you. That’s what I feel like.”
