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

I look in the mirror and see a few scars, but I like myself.

It's only rock and roll, my god! It's not rocket science.

You can have all the riches and success in the world, but if you dont have your health, you have nothing.

Loud is a way of life.

Nothing is cooler and more attractive than a big comeback, and that'll be me.

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.

The only thing I want to be satisfied in life is to do one reunion tour with Guns N Roses. I would like to finish what I started with them.

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've been blessed. I grew up and played and worked and created with the Freddie Mercury, the Jimi Hendrix, the Keith Richards, the John Paul Jones of my generation

It's hard to find five musicians who know what the other is going to do before they do it. And that's what we had in GN'R.

Vampires, fairies, and werewolves. Oh my!

it can't be wrong, if it feels so wrong

Racism is ridiculous no matter where it's coming from.

This is such a cynical world. The way the world is, there's so much going on and so much stress in the world and so much darkness and craziness and imbalance.

The loftiest edifices need the deepest foundations.

I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices.

When two cultures collide is the only time when true suffering exists.

There was nowhere I could go that wouldn't be you.

Make it look like your skin is not so angry at you for your bad life choices.

I'm not getting to heaven on my integrity. I'm not getting to heaven on my goodness.
