Socialite Nicole Richie cites boredom and having "so much, so
fast" as the reasons she became a drug addict.
The 26-year-old, who is four months pregnant with rocker boyfriend Joel
Madden's child, insists her wild partying, drug-taking days are behind her
and now all she wants to be is a responsible mother.
Richie, a former heroin addict, says, "I got so much, so fast that
nothing really excited me anymore. I kind of took matters into my own
hands and was creating drama in a very dangerous way.
"I think I was just bored, and I had seen everything - especially
when you're young, you just want more."
