“It's one of the things now that I've learned is forgiveness is the answer to everything. It's the answer to every problem anyone has. Just it's not, some people say, just let it go, Oprah. Let it go. You go, I can't do that. But if someone says, you know what? What if you forgave them? Just do it. Try this. Try forgive them. Say, I forgive you. And then say, I forgive myself for what I did to you, too. But I forgive you for what you did to me. And I just want to love you. I know it sounds really, you know, or touchy, feely or stupid, too nice, almost, right? But it's really the answer to everything. Forgiveness.

That's not something I earn because I'm that great. It's a gift that I've made contact with them. That's an honor. So my ego, it's a gift. When they came, that was the gift that anyone showed up at all. So it's not me. I also know at any moment I could sing a song and it could be the end of my career.”

And I'm singing to them, and I don't want to miss a thing, and they're singing the words back like this, every word, every nuance. I don't want to kin one night. I don't want to kill one kiss. I just want to be with you right here with you. Just like this, I just want to, and they're singing it back to me full-on. It's like making love. You're seeing a song, it's a complete song. Lyrics have been worked out, they've been crafted in such a way to mean so much. There's the first verse to set you up. I could lie awake just to hear you breathing. Watch you smile while you're sleeping, so far away and dreaming. It's this complete set of two. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to miss a thing.”

“When I got sober, I asked myself why did I even take them on stage? It was just a way of life. You know, I wasn't born this. Remember, I survived the 60s and 70s. If you didn't take LSD in high school, you weren't cool. And we took it. It was so great. We took acid and walked up to the top of Mount Sonope, walked, tasted the wind when it blew. Drank pine tree. You drank it. You could taste the water before you looked at a brook. Oh yeah, the green smell off the rolling hills, you tasted it. Oh yeah, some drugs are the greatest. It's just like now I can look at a field full of wildflowers and smell it and taste it just as well. You don't need that, but it was fun back then, and that's what I did. Jimi Hendrix.

“You know, there was just a lot of things. Both dogs died. The kids went away to college. This was just in the last year. So it was a nine-year run of things happening, but I wasn't going to meetings. And point blank, I'm just that good a drug addict. I have to always remember there's a 500-pound gorilla waiting in the parking lot for me. It feels weird saying that after two years because they do have it under control now, but I have to always remember that. I have to always remember that. Always, always, always. And, you know, I've always said of all the things I ever lost, I missed my mind the most. It's one of those funny things.”

They took the nerves out of here and here. So after that operation, I simply was 2003. After that operation, I was on so many drugs and I didn't give them to someone else to hold.

I've imagined doing this with you before. Really? Because it was something I wanted to do. I like you. I loved your show. I loved who you were. I knew you. I knew that this was going to be really comfortable for me. And I knew that I wanted to get something out more than just singing. Because remember, I'm a drug addict alcoholic. I know that there's another album in me. I think there may be another high. I don't know whether I'll survive it. I hope not.

“Yeah, here I am. I used to hate people that said this last run, I was on a nighttime sleeping drug, and drugs from my feet because the operations I had. Because I have to walk around and it hurts to walk. So I was on those drugs and just that little bit, it makes you like this. Whereas you and I are peripheral visionaries. And damn it, what was I doing this for? Was it more comfortable? Heroin, you know, is like putting a coat on, a cloak of fur, heroin. You just feel so comfortable in a world of doing Madison Square Garden, coming offstage, you're getting pecked to death like chickens. It's a comfort to go sniff a little something and go somewhere. And so I just rode that beast, but this last run when I was falling asleep here in the pit, you know.”

“Definitely. I first grew up here. And had all those feelings about the water and the smell that went out in a canoe before and I was paddling in by myself and the smell off the lake. And this is the true Stephen. That is it. Looking for a little beach here, and that's why I bought this property. I was like, you know, 15 feet of beach. And the feeling in the woods, and so then I left at 1819 to rock and roll out. I wound up taking so many drugs that alter your stuff that I thought I was taking this with me because every time I smoked to joint, I felt like I was up on the chairlift at Mount Sanopee. You know what I mean?”

“I think it's being willing to be a receptor. When I look at somebody, I have a whole problem today with judging. I'm not supposed to judge. However, when I look into people's eyes, I feel something from them. It's an unspoken thing. I can feel their energy and I get something and I understand where they're coming from and all kinds of stuff before they even speak. But I think it's because I'm open. I think it has to do with us being willing, not to mention you're a magical being. I feel it from you already. I think before you were Oprah and got all famous, I think I would have sensed that from your being. It's your personality, not everybody's born like that with it. But you went and ran with it.”

“Come home to this And swim out to these rocks and just sit there. This has been a beautiful year, except for the bittersweet. Of having the family there because my dad passed. You know, Liv said, you know, I've never been with my sisters and brothers when my mom passed upstairs, she said that. Imagine that we live these kind of lives, you and I, that were on the tail of a comet, right? And when we stop and we really do feel a family, I feel bad I do what I do. I feel bad I left Mia and my ex- my first wife here. I left him here. I abandoned him. I was on drugs, but also went on tour. And then I'd come back here and think, oh my God.”

“Yes and no, because I afforded myself the last year wherever I was, I was able to come leave it and just stop on a dime. People were landing me their planes and come see dad, so I got to re-up my relationship with him again. And he was there, but not. One day he'd be playing the piano because he was a classical pianist. And the next day, he wasn't there at all. And I just, every time I think of dad, I thank God of this whole last year that I got a chance to be close to Things I never thought about. That's what”

“It felt that way it was a piece of me that didn't want to go through all that, didn't want to hear all that, and it was a piece of me that knew that I needed to be there with dad. And then when I, every second, it changed. I realized the family was with me, 12 people, and then I was alone with him like this, listening to my dad et his last breath, and it was just so, you know, it was that. Now I can intellectualize about it, but it was just pure feeling, pure emotion that daddy's going right now. Was so, so hard. What was the last thing you said to him? I love you, Dad. The last thing I said, I heard him held his breast for 45 seconds. And when it got to 45 seconds, I said, I was like, so, you know, and I went, Mom, here comes Daddy.

It was such a loss. We were all sitting there and crying up a storm and it was just for every breath he took. He took three breaths and then he'd hold it for 30 seconds and then take three breaths again and then it would be held again for 45 seconds and then it was the last one. It was a whole hour of that.
