I think there are many people of enormous talent who live very well in the high-adreneline parts of their lives, but can't handle the day-to-day times and turn to drugs. It's so hard to look at these people gifted with such incredible talent and think, "Why isn't that enough?" But maybe part of what makes them so good at what they do is what makes them unable to handle the quieter parts of life.
Reminds me of Robert Downey, Jr., who is as good an actor as any one working, but can't seem to keep his life together.
