I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love. I have been inspired by heartbreak. I try to take everything that comes at me in life. There have been times in my life that I didn't handle things... right. But even though you stumble, you still kind of get through it.
Don't waste your death on a half assed life
Rock and Roll's got to be like Jack Daniels. You've got to feel it burn.
There is nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home. When you've lost it all, that's when you finally realize that life is beautiful.
Perfection is unattainable, so I like to live in imperfection.
The trouble with asking questions is you sometimes get answers you don't wanna hear.
If you don’t deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it’s gonna hurt.
When You've lost it all....thats when you realize that Life is Beautiful.
Love those who hurt you the most, because they are probably the ones closest to you. They, too, are on a path, and just like you they are learning to walk before they can fly. Imagine of everybody you hurt in life turned their backs on you? You would be playing a hell of a lot of solitaire. Love them no matter what.
I mean, you can hate us. I don't care if you hate us, but no one will ever sound like us.
SIXX: A.M. is a passion project. I think when you do things like that and put your heart into them and do your best and don't necessarily put them on a marketing grid, that's when things turn out the best.
You might as well learn about sex from Motley Crue than your parents because it's a lot more interesting.
I think anything thats creative really takes my mind off whatever it is that Im going through in my life. If youre going through heartbreak, and you can write a song, its a wonderful win-win, because it takes your mind off the heartbreak, and you get to vent.
I have a lot of friends who come from alcoholic families, and they aren't alcoholics, because someone explained it to them. When I was in Washington DC, they really talked about the difference statistically between families that talk about drug addiction and ones that don't. The kids that can say "I see where this is going" have a much better chance of not becoming addicts, because they have been educated.
