When You've lost it all....thats when you realize that Life is Beautiful.

Some cats, Iggy Pop, they're going to always have that hunger.

It's physically very, very, very trying to be onstage as a performer, not unlike an athlete, for thirty years.

When I'm onstage, I hope it looks like what I want to see - the lights, the pyro, the band.

For me, I never knew what addiction was. I just knew my heroes, like [New York Dolls guitarist] Johnny Thunders, did heroin. I didn't have a father, it looked good to me. If I had read Johnny Thunders' book The Heroin Diaries, I don't think I would have done heroin.

When I'm onstage, I'm more in the audience in my head than I am on the stage.

I feel my spot is somewhere between a bass player and a rhythm guitar player. I play with a pick. I play very aggressively. I always have a distortion pedal in line, and I play less melodies and do more stuff against the guitars that create melodies.
