Nikki lives around the corner from me and I see him all the time. We talk a lot, and of course we're still friends. That was our baby, Motley Crue, we put that band together.

When I got home from The Ozzfest in September 2000 with Methods... I just locked myself in my house and I started writing.

At 17, I signed a recording contract right out of high school, so I started touring and traveling the world. I sort of missed out on the college experience.

Getting married in four days was the biggest... mistake I've ever made. I have two beautiful kids, but... how can you know somebody in four days? Bonehead.

You know what's weird, I just write to write, with no intention, I just write.

I just write... if it's really good, it's going on the record. If it's average, it's going in the trash.

I did the marching band all throughout junior high and high school. Music was one of my favorite things in school.
