Pete DohertyPete Doherty has dismissed rumours that he takes drugs because he’s suffering from bipolar disorder or because he’s trying to fill a void - he just likes them.

“I don’t take drugs to deaden me, I take ‘em cos I love ‘em,” he said recently.

“I know they’re bad for me, financially crippling and I’m an addict.”

With prison sentences hanging over his head if he doesn’t clean up, he’s not admitting defeat yet though.

“It’s like being in a war, and now I’m picking up the pieces. I really do want to clean up this time.”

“It would be interesting to film someone like me trying to detox because then people would see the pressures, how hard it is.”
