Quotes
* Corey: (revealing he briefly dated Victoria Beckham in 1995) I did date Victoria Beckham. When she kisses she does this funny thing. She does this gnaw thing. She liked to gnaw on my lip.
* Corey: (on his drug-induced stroke) I was numb and I had lots of swollen lymph nodes, my heart was hurting and I had blood clots in my arm and leg.
* Corey: (on his prior drug habit) I was working on The Lost Boys (1987) when I smoked my first joint. But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas (1986). I lived in Los Angeles in the ’80s, which was not the best place to be. I did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack. I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day - the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the valium - I’m not talking about the other pills I went through.
* Corey: (on his previous drug use) I don’t even know why I’m still alive. My mum says I have angels and I hope that’s true.
