A lot of vices that I've had over the years were always to make up for some sort of character deficiency, one of them being shyness.

I've been on the road for so long that it's a part of my being. Even after all these years, I love playing. I love recording. I love writing. I love rehearsing. I love touring. I love all that stuff.

It seems like a lot of what was going on when I quit is still going on.

My mom did costumes for the Pointer Sisters.

I guess you could say there are two Slashes. There's the crazy, rock-and-roll Slash, he's wild. And then there's the real Slash- he collects miniature soaps and treats his hookers real nice.

I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since.

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