The NY Times has an interesting piece of Natasha Lyonne — who’s alive and off of heroin these days — and it’s worth a read.

About show business: “I was kind of put into this business by my family, by my mother. To be fair, I think she thought it was the right thing, and I definitely responded to it. I was an outgoing child. But I don’t know if it was something I would have done by choice.”

About her drug use: “I took it about as far as I could. And I didn’t die, so I decided to live, basically. Obviously it’s complicated, but it’s also very simple. I wasn’t dead at 27, so I might as well be 30. You’re already in it. You may as well be in a rocking chair some day eating a lobster club.”

Way to go, Natasha.
