“You can't buy chemistry. It's something that just happens.”

“The 80s were a very decadent period... and we were right in the middle of it.”

“What's the point of being a rock star if you can't have a little fun?”

“I'm not interested in being a celebrity. I'm interested in being a musician.”

“Rock and roll is a contact sport. I enjoy playing the tunes that really get the people going.”

“You've got to take the knocks, you've got to get back up. That's what we've always done.”

“It's never been about the money for us. It's about making great music.”

“Songwriting is a bit like a muscle, you've got to keep it in shape.”

“We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we take the music very seriously.”

“We've always been a band that wants to be the biggest in the world.”

“We've survived a lot of things. We've survived death, car crashes, and cancer. What's a little bit of grunge?”

“To me, the 'Hysteria' album is the pinnacle of our career. It’s the one that defines us.”

“The fans are the reason we're still here.”

“Longevity is something you earn.”

“I've always been a fan of big-sounding records.”

“The best thing about being in a band is that you're not on your own.”
