You can put people's feet to the fire a bit just by reminding them that we're constantly creating our own history.

I kind of like that romantic image of being in a rocker with my family gathered around, all these generations in one room, listening intently to my stories.

I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future.

I have a 10,000-year-old brain and the boogers of a 7-year-old. That's how I describe myself.

It's quite fitting that Slash is getting a star on the very street Axl Rose will one day be sleeping on.

You either love or you hate. You live in the middle, you get nothing.

I exposed people to magic. I exposed them to something they're never otherwise going to see in their boring, normal lives. And I gave that to them. I may forget about them tomorrow, but they'll live with that memory for the rest of their lives. And that's a gift, man.
