We lived on the Key West Army Base. Key West for me was a tropical island paradise.
I used to be a window cleaner. I got fired because I sometimes liked to drink the soapy water.
Ace Rothstein: For Nicky, Las Vegas was the fucking wild west.
The West coast money and the East coast money, in an ever-increasing manner, is finding its way to Chicago.
A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
As far commercial success, I don't think that's a focus but it's not that we don't enjoy that. It's not something you can attempt and achieve.
I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others.
We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.
The success that Pantera had, I could have never, ever forecasted or predicted, and I always felt a responsibility to try to pay even a bit of it forward.
People have always thought that I wasn't ambitious. They judged by appearances and were fooled. I was competitive. I wanted success and was willing to work for it.
I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.
I've always been anti-marriage for men until they become mature. As a species we don't mature until we're in our 60s.
Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men.
I had a patient once who dreamed she kept her husband in the deep freeze except for mating. Lots of men feel that way.
I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.
We were five heterosexual, good-looking men. We competed against each other for the sexiest girls... I won.
I am fed up with men who use sex like a sleeping pill.
It's not just about waking up and trying to be a star... It's practice, practice, practice.
I know what I'm missing. I know what I have to work on. Coloratura. And I sing sharp sometimes. It happens when I'm nervous.
I believe that anyone can be what they want to be; it just comes down to hard work.
If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.
