I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.
We are made up of two contrasting ideals: Love And Fear. Pick One and Live.
I'm not God but if I were God, ¾ of you would be girls, and the rest would be pizza and beer.
I guess I like who I am now. I'd just like to have a little more internal peace. I'm sure everybody would.
It's really hard to maintain a one-on-one relationship if the other person is not going to allow me to be with other people.
Be bitter, stay angry, and blame everyone!
I'm glad to be here [in Israel] again.
I could beat my mike stand into the stage, but I was still in pain. Maybe fans liked it, but sometimes people forget you're a person and they're more into the entertainment value. It's taken a long time to turn that around and give a strong show without it being a kamikaze show.
We have a saying in Guns N Roses: When somebodys gonna get yelled at, theyre gonna get the corn.
If someone asked me if I could have anything in the world, what would l want? If l could own anything, like owning a piece of art, l think it would be Elton John's publishing, on his first seven albums. I don't want the money. Being able to own those songs Is like owning a painting of someone you admire.
I go to movies, go out with friends, go to car shows. I have a zoo.
I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop.
Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time.
People can do whatever they want to, but I'm more pro-hetero. I'm not knocking it - I have friends that are gay. It's just that it's not my cup of tea, l guess. That's all. People can do what they want.
