There are people who have an image of me as being rude and inconsiderate. But I'm completely the opposite, because I was raised not to be. I might have been tripping over myself drunk, but I was always courteous.

My mom did costumes for the Pointer Sisters.

The only time I think I've ever gotten sick of playing Guns and Roses songs really was during - after having played them in Guns and Roses, and then in Snakepit, and then playing 'It's So Easy' and 'Brownstone' in Velvet Revolver.

Axl and I came from completely different backgrounds. Because of that we made an interesting pair trying to figure each other out.

The era itself has nothing to do with anything. We weren't really attached to that at all. I just saw this thing where they had a Poison concert on VH1, and to me, that is being attached to an era.

I'm not ridiculously wealthy, but I don't squander money either.

When it comes to actually writing, I like to write in a full room with the amps blasting, and a big drum set.
