The actor described\u200d himself\u200b as having been &#8220;pretty much a mess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While pursuing \u200dhis acting career, Quaid was also a\u200d talented musician and part of a band. However, his addiction ultimately led to the band&#8217;s dissolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I had one \u200cof those\u200b experiences when I got \u200chome that night. I saw myself, you \u200dknow, either being\u2063 dead or in jail or losing everything that was really important\u2062 to me, \u2063and I put \u2062myself into rehab the very next\u2063 day,&#8221; Quaid explained. \u2062&#8221;I think I was kind of known as a bad boy. Yeah, I was playing bad boy parts. But you know, cocaine\u200b was just pervasive back then. And, you know, hardly anybody\u2063 was\u200c hiding it. It was in \u2062movie budgets. There were articles in People magazine \u2063back\u200b then that it wasn&#8217;t \u200caddictive.
