Alcohol, acid, cocaine... they were just affairs. When I met heroin it was true love.

It says that alcoholism is a disease, and that it gets passed on from generation to generation. I've told my kids about that: "You've got the crazy gene in you, guys. When it comes time to kick back with the buddies, drink a beer, and watch a football game, just realize that there will be a day when that thing turns on you. So you better keep an eye on it".

I don't like to write music by myself anymore. It's boring. I want the jamming, the push and pull, and the excitement that comes with it.

The industry is a menace to artists.

Overconfidence comes from fear and doubt, and you boast an ego when you're feeling less than.

Which side of the blade is sharper? The lie or the truth? It all seems irrelevant when your jugular is sliced open and you’re lying in a pool of blood for the whole world to see.

In my own life I like to be poised and have a positive outlook on life, and I'm leading by example to my children and people around me.
