More quotes by Nikki Sixx
If you don’t deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it’s gonna hurt.
Nikki Sixx
My favorite moments are when the bass falls in the pocket with the drums, the guitar is on top just slicing it, and the melody is scraping across like a sidewinder shattering through the monitor. It's just, ahhh, I love it! That's the jones, the hit, the buzz right there. It gets me off.

The trouble with asking questions is you sometimes get answers you don't wanna hear.
Nikki Sixx
I feel you see every crack and bruise with black and white [pictiures] and color distracts usually from the honesty.

In my own life I like to be poised and have a positive outlook on life, and I'm leading by example to my children and people around me.

If I could make a record in two minutes and thirty seconds, I'd do it. I want the creativity, and I don't give a f - k about the snare sound.

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying says that death is the graduation ceremony, while living is just a long course in learning and preparing for the next journey. If we acknowledge death as the beginning, then how can we fear it?

For me, I never knew what addiction was. I just knew my heroes, like [New York Dolls guitarist] Johnny Thunders, did heroin. I didn't have a father, it looked good to me. If I had read Johnny Thunders' book The Heroin Diaries, I don't think I would have done heroin.

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.
Nikki Sixx
Perfection is unattainable, so I like to live in imperfection.

Its just kind of known in the music industry that a farewell tour means for now.
Nikki Sixx
Some girl asked me for an autograph and I asked her why, she said because she admires me. I said she should see a shrink. Then she started crying and I started laughing.

I love Starbucks. Maybe thats a bit sad. But I definitely need my caffeine. Its what gets me out of bed in the morning.
Nikki Sixx
My main camera is a Nikon D3. I use a French camera from the 1800s for wet plate photography, I use a Hasselblad sometimes. But to me the camera really doesn't matter that much. I don't have a preference for film or digital.

Just let it happen and, I promise you, all that is magic will appear.
Nikki Sixx
A lot can happen [because of the dysfunctional family]. People don't look at that. They think, Oh, my kids are going to be fine. My kids are resilient. But at a certain point, the damage starts. They start to feel pain - and when they feel bad, they start to take painkillers. We want to kill the pain.

Friends tell each other what nobody else is willing to tell you.

I look back at things I said when I was younger - it was bulls - t. You do what you have to do to go where you have to go, but I look back and I don't believe what that guy was saying.

Everybody needs some real rock in their lives...whether it's bands like ourselves, Aerosmith or Stones...or new bands like Five Finger Death Punch, Avenged Sevenfold...it's out there.
