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

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

“The golden rule of drums is hands clapping and feet tapping, and when you are in and out of consciousness, you can't do that to best of your ability.”

“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.”

“Drummers are conductors - we set the pace for the music - so if you're not relaxed and feeling right, the whole thing goes out the window.”

“People fight, they get angry, they do drugs, and they do crazy things.”

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

“You figure that time could heal all wounds, but some people just really hold a crazy grudge.”

“I'm not a big metal fan. I love and respect the musicianship, which is spectacular.”

“There are so many Al Anon fans and friends who have shown me wonderful love, prayers, thoughts! I thank everyone for this. It feels great to have wonderful people behind you, pushing and praying for you. Mostly, I don't want to let myself down, but they encourage me not to let them down.”

“If it wasn't for KISS, there would be no Guns N' Roses. Bands like that made Guns N' Roses. We were five guys with five personalities and five different influences. The stars were aligned for us.”

“Every 15, 20, 25 years, a new rock and roll record needs to come out and a new rock and roll band needs to come out.”

“I want to be in the big show, and to be in the big show, you have to practice. I have this attitude now that I'm going to take all the greatness I can. Nothing's going to stop me.”

“I thank God, Jesus, and my Grandmother for being able to support myself and my family.”

“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.”

“I want to go to Heaven, and I don't want to come back. I don't wanna come back and be a baby, and be a teenager again. Oh my God, no! No, I don't want to be a teenager again. It's too awkward.”

“If the Police could do a reunion... One of the biggest jerks I ever met was Sting. If he can do it, then anyone can do it. It's not that big a deal. And the Eagles! They did it! They severely hated each other. It's just rock and roll.”

“I wasn't able to make the full commitment until I met 'Celebrity Rehab's' Dr. Drew.”

“GN'R was five guys who were all into different things. I liked pop and disco, Izzy was into New York rock, Slash loved Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin, Axl was into Genesis and Elton John, and Duff was a punk rocker. We all blended that stuff together.”
