We can look, but we'd better not touch.

It doesn't feel good when you're put down, and especially for no uncertain reason.

I do that a lot of authors still do not do is allow people to write directly to me. I get about 50 fan letters a day, and I answer every single one of them myself. It takes a lot of time and sometimes it's a pain in the neck and I answer the same questions over and over. But the truth is these people come to my readings clutching these letters saying, "You wrote me back. I can't believe you wrote me back", and I think it really means a lot for them to know that the author values them just as much as they value the author.

If you don't have a dream, there is no way to make one come true.

I get the whole thing, I can't talk about it. But they're talking and they got an offer. I hope Axl[Rose] can see the greater picture and not be mad at Duff [McKagan] and Slash.

The crows may crow, but the hens deliver the goods.

Everyone's got their problems and their demons, but when we get onstage and play as five, that really all goes away, and that's really all I look at.
