" She didn't pull her Bible out, which I thought she would. She Said , 'I'm just really afraid that if you choose this path, you'll be ridiculed,'" he recalled, adding that she told him to "'just live your life quietly. ' I didn't follow her advice on that one. "

He became sober in The 1990s, and later spoke to CNN host Anderson Cooper of his battle against addiction.
