I don't want to jump through hoops for people.

I am the outcast come home to roost and the eggs of tomorrow are incubating in my fame. You hate me, you love me, you made me, and now I am in you. I am like that disease brewing in your loins and I think you like it.

I harbored a lot of resentment as a teenager and as a young adult. I still have a problem with authority, I'm trying to listen!

If you actually dissect the lyrics in 'Motley Crue', you'll notice that there's a lot going on beneath the surface.

You grow, learn, and the more I can sit in silence and be comfortable with myself, the more I can make noise, as ironic and Zen Buddhist and satanic as it sounds!

Perfection is unattainable, so I like to live in imperfection.

Anybody I'm in a band with can do what they do better than me. I'm a huge believer that I can play bass or whatever I bring to the table - producing, songwriting, orchestrating - and I can look at the other guys and say, "He's got that, he's got this, and I have this." It's a team thing.
