I’m looking for chocolate. I was like, ‘Damn, that fast, now I consumed an extra 2,000 calories today.’ I didn’t even see it coming.”

“Like, if you put a big bowl of strawberries in front of me – if you put such a big bowl of strawberries in front of me and you leave me alone, I’m definitely going to eat the whole bowl of strawberries.

“We either smoke all day, drink all night, use cocaine,” he said. “That’s the way it works for me. So, it’s like when I realized that’s the thing I don’t like with food, now there’s things like cookies in the pan, I don’t eat that.”
