None of the original love and feel for going on stage is gone. I'm not a true singer. I'm performer, and I need to be on stage.

As a lead singer, all I want to do is be in my own head and think about how great I am. That's a lead singer's disease.

The scary thing is that this band was founded in 1988, and back then it was Guns N' Roses, L.A. Guns and , like, 'What chick am I gonna be with tonight?' - it was that mentality, you know, around a keg.

Today they're praising you sky high, place you on a pedestal and tomorrow they don't want to know you.

Acting is about listening, and that's something that took me awhile. You almost don't have to learn your lines, if you listen to what they're saying and move it along.

I love to perform. I've never lost the urge. I've never once been on stage when I didn't want to be.

When you become a commodity to a record label because you're making them millions of dollars, you can take all of your artistic integrity and throw it out the window.
