Memories have to be our most painful blessing.
Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It's rage, it's creativity, it's pain, it's hurt, but it's the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music.
As we live, our hearts turn colder. Cause pain is what we go through, as we become older. We get insulted by others, lose trust for those others. We get back stabbed by friends. It becomes harder for us to give others a hand. We get our heart broken by people we love, even that we give them all we have. Then we lose family over time. What else could rust the heart more over time? Blackgold.
The plan was to drink until the pain is over, But what's worse, the pain or the hangover?
I don't care about having a legacy, I don't care about being remembered. The most important thing to me is, while we're here, while we're having fun, while we're sleeping, breathng oxygen, living life, falling in love, having pain and having joy...what can we do with our voice to make things easier, to help someone to make it better for our kids.
Creative output, you know, is just pain. I'm going to be cliché for a minute and say that great art comes from pain.
Bravery and courage is walking into pain and knowing that something better is on the other side
When we die, the money we can't keep, but we probably spend it all cause the pain ain't cheap.
I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.
I've reached a point in my life where my Truman Show boat has hit the painting.
Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go.
I would hear stories about Steve Jobs and feel like he was at 100 percent exactly what he wanted to do, but I'm sure even a Steve Jobs has compromised. Even a Rick Owens has compromised. You know, even a Kanye West has compromised. Sometimes you don't even know when you're being compromised till after the fact, and that's what you regret.
You don't have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.
Man, I'm the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.
