Where I felt comfortable was being the one that everyone liked to party with. And it was kind of the way I could fit in.

I had my group of friends, you know, like my real group of friends, and then I had, like, party friends.

I had about four days of like, 'Pity party, woe is me, it's all over.' Then I did some research and spoke with doctors and got in contact with people who have MS, and I soon realized it's actually a lot more manageable than the kind of public perception of it is, and that's part of the reason why I've been so outspoken about it.

I went to a friend's house and we just started using. I took myself out of the picture for a second, and I looked around at every single person in the room - at who they were, how old they were and what they had going on in their lives. A lot of them were near to 30, unemployed, living off their parents... they were heroin addicts. They were just guys on The World's Biggest Couch Tour.

The strange thing is, no matter what, when you become some kind of public figure, you have your go-to answers for all scenarios and instances.

I'm the kind of person that, if someone says, 'Oh yeah, you can't do that,' I want to then go do it.
