Quote
"I stole a bottle of Jack Daniel's from the guy I was renting the room from. I'd been sober for 20 years when I took that first drink. I was also taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety pills. It got so bad, I put a knife to my throat and cut myself in six places. The police came, put me in handcuffs and whisked me away. I was completely devastated..." - Willie AamesStar Magazine: Willie Aames Fights Back Following Suicide Attempt (January 8, 2009)
