GN'R was five guys who were all into different things. I liked pop and disco, Izzy was into New York rock, Slash loved Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin, Axl was into Genesis and Elton John, and Duff was a punk rocker. We all blended that stuff together.

I thank God, Jesus, and my Grandmother for being able to support myself and my family.

You figure that time could heal all wounds, but some people just really hold a crazy grudge.

I'm very influenced by jazz drummers. I always liked drummers like Roger Taylor, Keith Moon, Ian Paice, John Densmore. I just learned from playing to those drummers.

I have to say, the coolest person I ever met in my whole life is John Mellencamp. I never met a person who was more secure about himself and his person.

People fight, they get angry, they do drugs, and they do crazy things.

Part of recovery is relapse. I dust myself off and move forward again.
