Steven and I stood on the stage at the Boston Garden after the Stones had just played there and the stage was still up. We had been playing cards, maybe a high-school dance, to 400 or 500, maybe a thousand. We just stood on the stage and thought, 'Well,man,maybe someday.' In 4 years that was OUR stage.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.

There was a time I thought I couldn't enjoy rock 'n' roll unless I had heroin in me

I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it's for real.

I collect firearms, and I've got a Winchester, an Indian rifle. It has tacks for every warrior that was shot, like notches on a pistol, and it's got feathers and beads hanging off it. It's like a work of art.

For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.
