The Guns N' Roses reunion didn't happen by chance or whatever. It was always looked at as a possibility, but it never seemed right or felt right.

I worked in rose fields, and I worked in potato fields. I did some bouncing.

I didn't know if I was heterosexual or homosexual.

The real shame about the ending of the Guns N' Roses when I got kicked out wasn't just that I got kicked out, but Slash and Axl stopped working together.

Our share of the vote overall rose by less than 1 per cent - yes, that's right: less than 1 per cent.

The electro scene is all over the clubs now: groups like Duck Sauce, Empire of the Sun, even MGMT. But I get inspiration from everywhere. I'll go to the gym and put on old albums - Guns N' Roses or old Jay-Z.

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.
