Warren Zevon

About Alcoholism:
"From what I know about alcoholism, I'd say there's nothing romantic, nothing grand, nothing heroic, nothing brave -- nothing like that about drinking. It's a real coward's death."

• Quoted in Paul Nelson, "Warren Zevon's Resurrection: How he saved himself from a coward's death", Rolling Stone (1981-03-19)

"I got to be the most fucked-up rock star on the block, at least on my block. And then I got to be a sober dad for 18 years. I've had two very full lives.

• Quoted in, "Werewolves of London' singer dead at 56", Associated Press (2003-09-08)
