I used to think the only way to be truly alive is to confront your mortality.
Live in the moment. Moments make history.
I just think if I can go from being a homeless kid with a dream of being in the biggest band in the world and making that happen, I can do a lot of other cool stuff, too.
I can't make anybody happy, so I try my best to be good at what I do
Anybody I'm in a band with can do what they do better than me. I'm a huge believer that I can play bass or whatever I bring to the table - producing, songwriting, orchestrating - and I can look at the other guys and say, "He's got that, he's got this, and I have this." It's a team thing.
Alcohol, acid, cocaine... they were just affairs. When I met heroin it was true love.
I had to find the courage to turn my life around.
Sometimes I think I should just buy a blow-up party doll. Same level of intelligence, plastic, and full of air. The problem is, I'd probably fall in love.
Addiction - When you can give up something any time, as long as it's next Tuesday.
I've got so many mountains to climb and goals to conquer. I've got so many scars I want to leave on the planet. I just feel like I'm not there yet. I feel like I am just getting started.
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.
