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

Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.

Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion.

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 love playing music as much as if not more so than I did when I was 19; that compared to most of my peers is pretty surprising. I wake up every day and get really excited about doing stuff that I have been doing for the last 30 years. I just love it.

You can't wait around for destiny to give you what you think you deserve, you have to earn it, even if you think you've paid your dues.

I've always had to do things my way; I play guitar my way; I've taken myself to the edges of life my way; I've gotten clean my way; And I'm still here. Whether or not I deserve to be is another story.
