While I no longer romanticize the consequences of addiction, when I read something like this I admire the self deprecation and humor.
From an interview with actor Peter O'Toole, who died Saturday, on TCM Word of Mouth, December 2008:
"Many years ago I sent an old, beloved jacket to a cleaner, the Sycamore Cleaners. It was a leather jacket covered in Guinness and blood and marmalade, one of those jobs . . . and it came back with a little note pinned to it, and on the note it said, 'It distresses us to return work which is not perfect.' So that will do for me. That can go on my tombstone."
