I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop.

I really liked the Seattle movement.

I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop.

Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time.

I like to be real private; you don't always want everyone around you - even when they like you.

I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

'Appetite for Destruction' was the only thing written with lyrics and melody fitting the guitar parts at the same time. After that, I got a barrage of guitar songs that I was supposed to put words to, and I don't know if that was the best thing for Guns.

I could beat my mike stand into the stage, but I was still in pain. Maybe fans liked it, but sometimes people forget you're a person and they're more into the entertainment value. It's taken a long time to turn that around and give a strong show without it being a kamikaze show.

I go to movies, go out with friends, go to car shows. I have a zoo.

I sing in five or six different voices that are all part of me. It's not contrived.

I try to be respectful about getting an honor or recognition, but I don't really know what the Rock Hall actually is. In my experience with the people who run it, I don't see it having to do with anything other than them making money.

I'm in California, and that usually leans Democratic, and that's usually where I lean anyway... I would lean Democrat; I would lean Obama.

In general, I usually don't really go by or live my life by a clock, and outside of touring, I don't really ask anyone else to. It's not out of lack of respect for anyone or intentional.

Mick Jagger is one of the greatest athletes who ever lived, just for how much he puts into it onstage.

Regarding social media, I really don't understand what appears to be the general population's lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent... but hey it's them, not me, so whatever.

There was a much more self-destructive nature in 'Appetite.' It was a going-for-it-at-all-cost thing that worked then.

We have a saying in Guns N' Roses: 'When somebody's gonna get yelled at, they're gonna get the corn.'

Life sucks, but in a beautiful kind of way.

Seattle has shaped me in a lot of ways.

Everybody in the military has a reputation, and usually it doesn't come out to the public.

When you see it from the outside, then you see just how great the Tour de France is.

It was funny that rank-and-file evangelicals were ahead of all the leadership. They saw for decades conservative Republicans had made promises to them on issues that were important to Christians and conservatives when they were running for office. But when they won, they didn't keep those promises.

People do not want what we have in our pockets half as much as they want what is in our hearts. If we combine both, intelligently, however, according to our means, we give wisely and well.

Races and nations are thus ever ready to believe the worst of one another.

Etiquette is all human social behavior. If youre a hermit on a mountain you dont have to worry about etiquette if somebody comes up the mountain then youve got a problem. It matters because we want to live in reasonably harmonious communities.

I think God has a sense of humor, and the way my lessons come from God is very funny. I have to laugh at myself even if it's a tough lesson.

I think the average MLB career now is just a few years. The quote that has always resonated with me is 'We're going to be former players a lot longer than we were current players.'

Employees can make happiness when they maximize their brainwork voluntarily and enthusiastically. Management should focus on setting up an atmosphere.

It's a nice neighborhood, like the one I left. My home borough is Brooklyn and Queens.

When people see my makeup, they think all types of crazy things that I'm doing to my skin, but it's makeup. It's the weirdest thing. They'll see contouring and think you had surgery on your nose. No. No. No. Look at 'RuPaul's Drag Race' and you'll see... you can make your nose look... what ever shape you want it.

Here's one thing I can't understand: people who are friends with their exes.

Mere physical sitting is not enough. You have to sit carefully and attentively. Let your body and breathing sit. Let your mind and emotions sit. Let your blood circulation sit. Let everything sit. Then your sitting becomes indestructible, immovable.

Parenthood is the opiate of the masses.

Once I got in the public eye there was no going back.

Style is the perfection of a point of view.

Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.

It's really hard because obviously people label you as a British East Asian actor. And I'm just from Salford; it's where I was born.

Turn your fears into excitement. Your anxieties into enthusiasm. Your passion into energy.

The excellence of aphorisms consists not so much in the expression of some rare or abstruse sentiment, as in the comprehension of some useful truth in a few words.

Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not.

Ann Romney has been front-and-center. She's held a lot of town halls, a lot of campaign rallies, on her own, separate from her husband. And she is dynamite out on the campaign trail.

Acting is always therapeutic.
