More quotes by Scott Weiland
You are only as big as your experiences.
Scott Weiland
When I'm not completely loaded, it's a much more vulnerable place. I can feel the music, I can feel the energy and I really have to put it out there. When I was loaded, I was just oblivious.
Scott Weiland
It's better to not set your expectations high. And that's what happens when you have a long career - not every album is going to be record setting.
Scott Weiland
It seems like everyone's got an agenda, and the agenda seems to be selling magazines or air time with sensational stories.
Scott Weiland
I'm going to take care of myself because that's what I need to take care of.
Scott Weiland
Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that's kind of the beauty of it.
Scott Weiland
Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides.
Scott Weiland
You know, you've got to be careful with how you educate your kids in rock'n'roll fashion.
Scott Weiland
I suffer from manic-depressive disorder, and I've chosen not to take medication for it. Because of that, every once in a while I go through manic episodes and really depressed episodes.
Scott Weiland
There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's equality and trust.
Scott Weiland
To be a great band it's like you have that telepathy. You know when the bass player's in back of you without even looking. You know when your guitar player's coming up to you to lean up to you and sing into your microphone. You just know these things. You feel it. You feel the energy of it.
Scott Weiland
Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush.
Scott Weiland
When you're in love, you've found your soul mate, you think life is going one way, and suddenly it's completely apparent it's not. You have to rethink your whole purpose.
Scott Weiland
It's a beautiful thing to be that committed to something that you get so much joy from, but it is like a sick addiction, because sometimes it's incredibly volatile, incredibly painful, and very frustrating. A man shouldn't be defined by his work, but I am.
Scott Weiland
I tend to get my hands into all these other things and all these distractions, and after a while I start feeling depleted.
Scott Weiland
When people ask me if I have a hobby, a lot of times my answer is that I like to surf in warm water. I like to ski, if I have the opportunity. But really, I like to go to my studio and write music that I want to write, where there's no pressure to come up with a hit single.
Scott Weiland
Rock and roll doesn't allow you to grow up - especially if you're not trying very hard to.
Scott Weiland
It doesn't matter what kind of problems a family is having it should always stay in the family.
Scott Weiland
I'd sell one of my songs for any car commercial in the world that paid enough money. But to stay in the Top Ten for weeks on end when I'm in my forties by letting Glen Ballard write songs for me? F**k that.
Scott Weiland
Eventually I want to subsidize my income with other creative outlets that are going to not keep me tied to the road so much.
