We're across the street from the Erotica Museum and Frederick's of Hollywood. This is a perfect place for us to be.
They're the Liz Taylor and Richard Burton of our era.
I'd like to respond to rumors that I died yesterday ... I mean, c'mon, be patient! My day will come but it hasn't yet!
There's a pattern when tours start-a pattern of infighting, of making up, of breaking up, of addiction. There's a pattern of going to jail. There's a pattern of passion for music.
I'm sober, and I'm sick. I'm sick in the head. And all that support and all that great stuff around me allows my artistic side to be even more demented.
You know, we've all talked about how mostly, more than anything, we just really wanted to have a good time. And I think that, you know, this tour has really turned out to be a lot of fun for us as band members and as friends. You know, we've been friends for forever.

We get paid in flesh. Our audiences are sluts and whores, each and every one.
