"There are moments that I look at him, this kid that I raised, who I thought I knew inside and out, and I wonder who he is. He's been doing all sorts of drugs, but he's addicted to crystal meth, which seems, uh, to be the worst of all of them. And I guess I'm here because I just want to know all that I can about all of it. Know your enemies, right? So, my two big questions are, what is it doing to him, and what can I do to help him?"

"-Do you know how much I love you?
[young Nic shakes his head]
 -If you could take all the words in the language, it still wouldn't describe how much I love you. And if you could gather all those words together, it still wouldn't describe what I feel for you. What I feel for you is everything. I love you more than everything.
-Everything?
-Yeah, everything"

"-I don't feel like I have a disease, Spencer. I feel like...
-Well, you got to.
 -This isn't like fucking cancer. This is my fucking choice. I put myself here.
 -Yeah, you did. You did put yourself there"

"-I don't think you can save people, Vicki.
-You can be there for them, can't you?"

"Either peace or happiness, let it enfold you. When I was a young man, I felt that these things were dumb, unsophisticated. I had bad blood, a twisted mind, a precarious upbringing. I was hard as granite. I leered at the sun. I trusted no man and especially no woman. I was living a hell in small rooms. I broke things, smashed things, walked through glass, cursed. I challenged everything, was continually being evicted, jailed, in and out of fights, in and out of my mind"

"One day I woke up in a hospital and someone asked me, 'What's your problem?'. And I said I'm an alcoholic and a drug addict. And he said, 'No that's how you've been treating your problem'."
