I'm the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.

I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.

I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.

I've never read anything about heroin where, yeah, it's a good experience, and you can do it for 20 years and enjoy it, like having a cold beer. It doesn't work that way with heroin.

For me it's about the music, and it always has been. Maybe for some other people it's more about money.

People, y'know, they either love us or they hate us; there's no middle ground.
