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

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.

But if I was still trying to be in Guns N' Roses while I wasn't in the band... I wouldn't want to maintain an image like that.

One time we played a concert in Antwerp, Belgium. At least I thought it was Antwerp, Belgium. Turns out it was a Stop 'n Shop in Wisconsin somewhere, but it was fun man.

I once asked Axl why he left the 'E' off his name. He started crying and said he thought he'd spelled it right.

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

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