Kingston.
"I
had
really
good
highs
but
some
very
low
lows," Sydney
Morning
Herald
quoted
him,
as
saying.
"I
found
out
recently
I'm
manic
depressive,"
he
added.
The

2006
for
DUI
while
speeding
in
his
vehicle
with
an
open
container
of
alcohol,
and

making
the
derogatory

him.
However,

has
repeatedly
apologized
for
making
the
derogatory
comments.
