I didn't like the way I was let go from Metallica.

I could do Rust In Peace again, but I don't want to. I could have followed that formula but, God, why? I would have to have done so much heroin and cocaine - and I wasn't going to. Not if I'm paying for it!

Buckethead [former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist] is probably twice as good a guitar player as me and Slash combined, and can stand having fried chicken rubbed up against his face all night for a couple of hours.

When I left New York, after getting fired from Metallica, all I remember is that I wanted blood. Theirs.

If you guys are going to be throwing beer bottles at us, at least make sure they're full.

I went there anyway-knowingly, willingly-because I wanted a number one hit. I wanted what Metallica had, even if it meant selling a piece of my soul to the devil.

I'm not a great singer
