Wes Bentley(I)

Stated in an interview on the DVD of There Be Dragons - Un santo nella tempesta (2011) that his sobriety was inspired during filming by someone else on the set who had been sober for two years. He stopped drinking and doing drugs during filming with this person's help, and experienced a whole spiritual renewal in his life. He has been sober ever since.

[on wishing he had heard a story like his own in his early 20s] - This would have helped me, at least, if someone would have made me realize that you don't need to do drugs to be artistic and express yourself. If you want to be artistic, if you want to be creative, if you want to express yourself, you can't let things get in your way, and drugs are included in that.
