Hi. It`s Nikki. I`m not here right now because I`m dead.

Formats are going to change because this is what the people want. It`s not what the labels want.

It`s about what happens on stage, whether we can deliver it in a hungry way that is who we are in our hearts.

Artists are very young, and say, Um, ok, to these industry dudes.

We each have our own tour bus. We`ve never done that before.

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.

If you were on the phone with me and Tommy right now, we would probably forget you were there, we`d just be cracking jokes. It`s like Beavis and Butthead.

The book is really, really dark, to the point where some people that I`ve talked to have said that it could be a series. And I`m like, Where? VH1? It`s a little hard for VH1.

We did something this year that was not based on animosity.

I don`t want to jump through hoops for people.

I hate things that are diluted - I mean, you don`t mix Jack Daniel`s with Coke. That`s a sin!

I woke up the next morning... the needle... was still in my arm.

Motley Crue, collectively and individually, have done things on our own terms.

If your album sells, that`s cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we`re really about-which is a live rock and roll band.

We have a growing new fan base, and we wanted to get out now, and play now, and the timing was right.

We were telling everybody we weren`t getting back together when we were in the studio actually recording. We wanted to try it on, to see how it would fit.

Some cats, Iggy Pop, they`re going to always have that hunger.

I`ve got five kids and I`m married, Tommy`s got two kids and he`s been married, Vince just got married again, Mick`s out of a relationship, Tommy`s single as well. We`ve done a lot in our life, we`ve covered a lot of miles.

The industry is a menace to artists.

Each guy has his own space. We all end up in one of the other guy`s rooms all the time. We always end up together, as far as people getting along.

You can`t do this, you can`t take a picture of someone who has built their image up, I don`t care who it is. You can`t use that for your business.

The music industry is saying, This is the format, and if you`ll fit into this format, you can be on radio, and if radio will play you, MTV will expose you, and MTV will expose you, we`ll sell records.

What`s the best angle to cut someone`s throat? Well, usually from behind. That`s usually how it works.

Who`s the new Ramones, who`s the new Guns `N Roses, who`s the new Motley Crue, who`s the new Black Sabbath? They`re coming, they`re on the street, they`re 16, 17 years old.

I harbored a lot of resentment as a teenager and as a young adult. I still have a problem with authority, I`m trying to listen !

There`s a pattern when tours start-a pattern of infighting, of making up, of breaking up, of addiction. There`s a pattern of going to jail. There`s a pattern of passion for music.

I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.

There`s so much history amongst ourselve that reminds us of something, and we start cracking up.
