Nicolas Cage attests that while he went through a period of drug and alcohol abuse, he was able to get out of that scene on his own. “In my twenties I went through a period of drinking and drug-taking.
It didn’t make me happy but I wanted to experience them to know how
they would make me feel.”
“Drugs make every single nightmare you ever had come true.”
“[But] I never went to rehab, I never went through any form of
[Alcoholics Anonymous]. I went through years of experimenting and then
hit the realisation that it just didn’t work for me.”
It makes me wonder if he really did steal a chihuahua, or if he just denied it because he can't remember.
