Traveling around the country, meeting fans and hearing their stories in person and on my radio show has reenergized my commitment to creating honest and inspirational content that not only serves my own creative purposes but can help and touch others as well.
What can I say that will make people that are in recovery want to stand up and support Recovery Month? A friend of mine said, 'You know, the fact that you did a really honest book and it changed people's lives, that's something to talk about.'
I think - I honestly think that my story is not 100 percent that unique. I think that I'm - just the whole rock star part kind of throws an interesting twist on it.
I feel you see every crack and bruise with black and white [pictiures] and color distracts usually from the honesty.
I have always believed that if you are honest in what you do, continually reinvent yourself at the same time, and there's respect amongst your band members, then you will be respected.
Raw and honest is what I go for [in my style of shooting]. I am looking for your inner beauty. The outside tells a story... But together is raw honesty.
We go to do the Billboard Music Awards to be a presenter, and we walk on stage, and we get a standing ovation from the industry.
And there's one thing that we all agree on in the band, which is: It's more important to have a great record than to rush getting it out.
And, you know, there's a brutality to us when we're together,
Vince has said over and over, you know, rock 'n' roll never really goes away,
Vince feels horrible, ... He wanted to finish the show but I think it's better he didn't, in the big picture. From all four of us, we're very sorry and will be back to Atlanta. No shows will be canceled.
I'm sober, and I'm sick. I'm sick in the head. And all that support and all that great stuff around me allows my artistic side to be even more demented.
We just didn't give a f?-. We did things our way, and we had a hell of a good time doing it.
We are from Hollywood, you know that's where we started.
