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.

I'm not gonna be a slave. I'm a rock n' roller.

I just had lunch with Slash two days ago. He loves Axl. He holds no grudges towards him. Twenty years of great music wasn't created because of some stupid grudge. That's a shame.

One thing about Texas people, they're very passionate about their Rock N' Roll, and I love it.

I used to wake up in the morning and say, 'Oh, God.' Now I wake up in the morning and look forward to life.
