When we weren't being transcendent we specialized in self-inflicted disaster.

You know, when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's, you know, a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time, trying to have another good night.

That's always stuck with me, with music. I've never really gotten jaded about it. I've always loved music for the sake of doing it, and the longer I do it, the more I like it. Hopefully, I'll be able to have that same point of view in this business, or at least with doing this.

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

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

As for Guns N' Roses, I don't think there's ever a chance of a reunion.

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.
