I think when I was a kid, and I was in England and it was all about The Stones, The Who, The Kinks and The Beatles and that's what my dad was into.

Restlessness is a fickle catalyst; it can drive you to achieve or it can coax your demise, and sometimes the choice isn't yours

For me, the original Guns N' Roses is the embodiment of a certain kind of chemistry that really couldn't be duplicated.

I always loved rock guitar. I just never put it together that that's what I'd end up doing.

I got into rock-and-roll because I wanted the chicks. The Dixie Chicks.

People want you to produce records. They don't care what it took to make it. When a band is out doing concerts, the fans don't want to know about equipment difficulties. They want their hour-and-a-half release, and that's it.

If I could hang out with Jimi Hendrix, it wouldn't be over dinner.
