“Kids don't go out and buy CDs, they make their own, they download them from the Internet.”

“Sometimes you can do things for people other than yourself.”

“It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.”
“I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone.”
“I would play with Guns n' Roses anytime.”
“Quebec City is the most European of any city in North America; they speak French all the time. There is a part of town called Old Quebec which is really like being in France. The architecture is just gorgeous, food, shopping. I'd say Quebec City is the most beautiful city in North America I've seen.”
“The worst thing I ever wore, really, was rubber pants, but I don't think that was a cliche. They were just way too hot. Rubber doesn't breathe. I look back on my photos, and I dig them. I think I look really cool.”

“Bret Michaels and Dee Snider and I know how to step on a stage and front a band, and we're not ashamed to. We're not shoe gazers.”

All you have to do is plug a microphone into the input jack and anybody can have their own recording studio. So I'm always down in my basement, singing along to riffs or whoever I'm collaborating with.”
“Metal is still the biggest music now in America.”
“Maybe if they start playing new rock bands videos, then maybe but there is no point in a guy like me spending 250 grand for a video that no one is ever going to see.”
“I don't understand the mentality of a rock fan, being obsessed with two or three songs from 25 years ago. I'm not that kind of a fan.”
“No, if it was up to me every record would be brand new studio material but Atlantic records asked me to put out a full live record because my tour really did do well last year.”
“I mean, MTV or the mainstream media can tell you one thing, but when there are 40,000 people in front of you, who cares about all that?”
