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.

Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear.

I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop.

Be bitter, stay angry, and blame everyone!

November Rain is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love.

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.

I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.
