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.

The mere brute pleasure of reading - the sort of pleasure a cow must have in grazing.

In hindsight, I slid into arrogance based upon past success.

I'm inspired by people who are so sensitive and vulnerable that they try to cover it up.

Milan is beautiful in fog, like a woman with a veil.

I have a really embarrassing reaction to horror films. I break out in a fever.

You know, we live in a time when if somebody wants to kill you, they're going to kill you, and you can either go in a hole and, you know, pull the roof in over you, or you just continue putting one foot in front of the other and hope that you're doing some good in the world.

The director had come to Madrid to court me.

Upper berth, lower berth, that's the difference between talent and genius.

Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.

Being a good television screenwriter requires an understanding of the way film accelerates the communication of words.

If you think about some of the things that are being talked about by thoughtful, intelligent scientists, you realize that in 100 years the human race won't even be recognizable.

To put what you see on paper is the same as funneling what you feel through yourself as a performer.

With the Berlin I was able to set up a fortress that he could come near but not breach.

The discovery of the power of our thoughts will prove to be the most important discovery of our time.

We will admit that, out of the mud or sand which is found on the seashore or the beds of our rivers, at low water, shellfish or testaceous animals come forth, but it does not from thence by any means follow that they are produced without any regular course of generation.

Dissolution and custody matters are the great equalizers. Having done this for a while, you do realize that everybody has the same issues. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how much power you have, you are always afraid you're never going to see your child.

I hate summer, to be honest. I hate dressing. I hate the heat. I hate sweaty people getting aggressively close to you when you're walking down the street.

I wouldn't call him a slave. I don't whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good.

I look forward to taking on issues regarding the Constitution, intellectual property, terrorism, and other legal and regulatory reforms.

Nobody is poor unless he stand in need of justice.

I grew up with a lot of boys. I probably have a lot of testosterone for a woman.

I'm more comfortable in heels than I am in sneakers.

God made the integers; all else is the work of man.

Wherever the fish are, that's where we go.
