Hard drugs are the key to success

Dennis Hopper Luck is overrated. If you really want to make it big in Hollywood, you should stop chasing your dream and start frying your brain with hard drugs.

I know it sounds a bit suspect, but some people swear by it:

Troubled Hollywood star DENNIS HOPPER has promoted hard drugs and alcohol as the perfect ingredients for movie making, and insists he owes his career to his many addictions.

The SPEED actor was famously forced to kick his hardcore habits in the 1980s after he was found naked and begging to be shot dead in Mexico.

But the 69-year-old insists his substance-abusing years never effected his work ethic or onscreen talent. […]

“At the time, drinking, doing cocaine and smoking grass while working… it was all about the work. It wasn’t about the drugs. We did them to keep going.”

Well, that explains why The Last Movie’s first cut was six hours long.

I guess when you’re coked out of your mind, time flies a little faster.

And higher.
