I heard Kurt Cobain and Adam Sandler were manic, is this true?

If geniuses like Cobain and Sandler can be successful while being functioning creatively in a bipolar mania state, does that mean I can be manic all the time while be creative and productive? (I have bipolar disorder). I’ve noticed I have more energy and am more creative when I’m manic, why shouldn’t I be able to control my mania like Cobain and Sandler did?
