You can get through anything if you want it bad enough.
When the addict gets recovery, his family gets recovery, right?
Rock n' roll is dirty, and it's bad, and it's either clever or it's not clever.
Sometimes I journal three pages, sometimes I journal thirty pages, but I'm writing all the time, and whatever's happening is happening in real time for me.
Los Angeles has been my home since the days even before Motley Crue, so I am beyond excited that 'The Side Show' has found a home on 98.7 FM. This is the station I listen to - my friends listen to it, my family listens to it. It's the station I wanted to be on, and I'm psyched to get started.
I love Starbucks. Maybe that's a bit sad. But I definitely need my caffeine. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning.
Beauty, to me, is kind, generous, and people that are humble.
You have to age gracefully. And that's what I love about Keith Richards. That's what I love about the Rolling Stones. They are aging gracefully. They are falling apart at the seams right before our eyes, and they are doing it gracefully. And that's the most beautiful thing that we can do.
I think that music is a lifestyle that you sort of intravenously plug into and unplug from when you do and don't need it. Some people live it 10 hours a day, some on weekends. It's no more important or non-important than that.
There's so much history amongst ourselve that reminds us of something, and we start cracking up.
We've all grown up a lot, and we realize that small stuff is just small stuff, and we look at the big picture on every level. We think about the future, we think about music, and how to make music the best we can. There's nothing petty going on. It's very focused.
When we were younger, you know, small stuff was small stuff. But we turned it into big stuff. It's just part of being young.
We are from Hollywood, you know that's where we started.
We decided the first part of the show would be our earlier stuff. And then we would come out for the second half, blasting more radio-oriented stuff, the hits, I guess. It gives us the opportunity to put the music together.
