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.
In general, I usually don't really go by or live my life by a clock, and outside of touring, I don't really ask anyone else to. It's not out of lack of respect for anyone or intentional.
I like to be real private; you don't always want everyone around you - even when they like you.
When I was a kid, I was told rock n' roll wasn't music. It wasn't art. Queen was my proof, my evidence, that these people were wrong - and they meant everything to me.
If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane
We take it for granted we know the whole story - We judge a book by its cover and read what we want between selected lines.
Life sucks, but in a beautiful kind of way.
I'm not God but if I were God, ¾ of you would be girls, and the rest would be pizza and beer.
We are made up of two contrasting ideals: Love And Fear. Pick One and Live.
Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear.
I think the pressure has also helped me want to rise above that pressure, and it has helped in accelerating the healing process. It's helped give me a drive. I have a definite survival drive, and the pressure gave me a drive to get on top of it.
November Rain is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love.
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.
