I don't care what anyone says. You have to wake up and say to yourself, 'I accept that I have diabetes, and I'm not going to let it run my entire life.' It's a fine line, a Catch-22, a balancing act. I work to enjoy my life like a regular human being and at the same time keep my blood sugar levels as decent as possible.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
My life is part humor, part roses, part thorns.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
I'm addicted to creating and writing.

A brain hemorrhage puts it all in a deeper perspective. I'm one of those guys hit by lightning. I see the big picture. Everything is in perspective now. Let's just say I'm the kind of guy who knows how to enjoy the moment.

Most bands have a two-year success rate. By the third year, it's sort of over. Here we are in Poison still together 26 years later.

My hair creates this Tarzanesque, likeable bad-boy image. It says, 'I am a wild child. I will take you on a Harley ride, then make passionate love to you. And should you be attacked by a lion or an idiot at a bar, I will protect you.'

We were in Greenville, South Carolina, where he lived, and he was coming the next day to the show, but he passed away the night before. I was very close to my grandfather. He was the first guy to teach me how to ride a motorcycle, so (his death) meant a lot to me. It just gave me a perspective on life and how important it is to live it and enjoy it while we're here. Sometimes we're looking for the grass to be greener, and what's awesome is right in front of you.

The bottom line is that TV can either be a great asset to your career, or if you're a complete ass that people hate, it can be the final nail in your coffin.

I want to tell the story. Mostly, when you see rock movies, it has to be this over-the-top thing. I want to give people a Bret Michaels movie where they see that my life is a comedy of errors. I also want to show my fans how to get through the kind of troubles that would leave most people flat on the floor.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
For me as a solo artist, I never want to be a nostalgia act.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
Everyone wants to go to the party and the red carpet, but my life is 90% the work.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
Any band that is out there chasing it is doing more destruction to music then someone who is out there playing what they truly feel.
