On managers taking advantage of Bill's work ethic
>""He was feeling worn out and he was telling me, "Man, I go from gig to gig to gig." And I told him he didn't have to do that, but he was almost childlike in his approach in that when he got into his art, he just didn't get the business. He was blinded by the fact that in the early stages he was manipulated by managers and other people. [...] Bill was literally doing back-to-back-to-back gigs, working fifty weeks, taking no time off. So at that point it was: "Bill, he is killing you. There's no reason or you to be working like this.""

On Bill's drug problems
>"Bill had also been calling me to tell me how he had been getting really fucked up lately. [...] Then he broke down. He broke down and told me how he'd injected cocaine. [...] Bill started peeling back the layers. They shot up cocaine. The next night they started running out of cocaine. Someone had some heroin. So they mixed it up with a little bit of cocaine. The night after that they started running out of heroin. Someone had some crystal meth."
