I knew Slash in high school, but not very well. Just knew him as this kid that used to hang out in the hallway. Pretty much looked then the way he does now.

I don't go to church so much, the way my life is, but it's in me every day.

If you look at the guys in the '70s, like Led Zeppelin, they had bigger planes than we do, they had more money. But they weren't singing about it.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.

The image is an image.

I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.

I'm so happy. I am able to see the world just by making music, just by doing the thing that I loved doing when I was five years old.
