Directing is like guitar playing. That's a unique mind-set and talent, unto itself. I like the idea of putting everything together to make a great movie.

More quotes by Slash
I got the name Slash because I used to work in a grocery store and I was in charge of reducing prices for really big sales.
Slash
You can't wait around for destiny to give you what you think you deserve, you have to earn it, even if you think you've paid your dues.
Slash
I don't physically put Appetite For Destruction in and listen to it, but I hear it on the radio or at sporting events or wherever else it pops up, and it's great. I dig everything about it. When I hear Appetite, it sounds like exactly what it was. It sounds like a record made by an angry bunch of kids.
Slash
Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.
Slash
Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion.
Slash
Originally, I wanted to call the band 'Guns 'n Robots.' I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns 'n Robots' we'd still be together.
Slash
When it comes to actually writing, I like to write in a full room with the amps blasting, and a big drum set.
Slash
Experiencing yourself out of context, divorced from your usual point of view, skews your perspective – it’s like hearing your voice on an answering machine. It’s almost like meeting a stranger or discovering a talent you never knew you had.
Slash
There are people who have an image of me as being rude and inconsiderate. But I'm completely the opposite, because I was raised not to be. I might have been tripping over myself drunk, but I was always courteous.
Slash
It's not so much about how good a player you are, its how cool you are.
Slash
It's not something you can find. There's a moment you arrive at --- there's no words for it. A bunch of people come together at this place where a note hits your heart and your brain tells your finger where to go. It's an otherworldly thing, like when a painter gets the right combination of colors together.
Slash
I guess you could say there are two Slashes. There's the crazy, rock-and-roll Slash, he's wild. And then there's the real Slash- he collects miniature soaps and treats his hookers real nice.
Slash
If I could hang out with Jimi Hendrix, it wouldn't be over dinner.
Slash
I've always had to do things my way I play guitar my way I've taken myself to the edges of life my way I've gotten clean my way And I'm still here. Whether or not I deserve to be is another story.
Slash
When that band started out, I was 18 years old. So that was my reality all the way up until I quit the band. And even then, you know, Guns N' Roses has a nasty way of sticking around.
Slash
Guitars are like women. You'll never get them totally right.
Slash
It seems like a lot of what was going on when I quit is still going on.
Slash
My dad is a huge rock and roll lead guitar fan. I didn't even really know that until recently. Everything has to have a guitar solo in it.
Slash
Axl and I came from completely different backgrounds. Because of that we made an interesting pair trying to figure each other out.
Slash
But if I was still trying to be in Guns N' Roses while I wasn't in the band... I wouldn't want to maintain an image like that.
