We were really big stars now and it was very weird. I’m a very optimistic person and through this all, I always perhaps egomaniacally assumed that everything we did would be successful. At the same time the pressures were immense and for me getting stoned definitely buffered me from a lot of tensions and helped me tunnel- vision more of it.

Debbie met Jane Fonda, and one afternoon, Jane and Kris Kristofferson, who were filming Rollover, came to our apartment and we sat around smoking weed and watching The Tin Drum. I would just keep smoking indefinitely, and by then I always had really great pot. I generally leaned towards indica if I could get it.Jane and Debbie dropped out after four joints or so but Kristofferson kept pace with me. Bowie came over a couple of times and signed our David Bowie records. We had a party he was at that I don’t remember much of. We didn’t throw a lot of parties but we would frequently have people at our place.
