I don't think there's anything better than hearing your favorite band live.

Notes and chords have become my second language and, more often than not, that vocabulary expresses what I feel when language fails me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Originally, I wanted to call the band 'Guns 'n Robots.' I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns 'n Robots' we'd still be together.
