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.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

Processed pig is white trash meat. Some people call it Spam.

Bowie's obviously my biggest influence.

As I've gotten older, I've found that I'm not afraid anymore to throw my influences into making a record.

Personally, I wrapped things up with my past a while ago and I don't know whether this signals the end, but it definitely signals a beginning. And I think we're all here because of that beginning.

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.

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

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.

To be appreciated by a whole 'nother generation of fans, all of a sudden discovering you, it's kind of what I did with the classic bands I love - the ones that influenced me.
Scott Weiland Stone Temple Pilots -
I see love, like art, as an obsession. Maybe that's an overly romantic view of human existence, but I'm an overly romantic human being. If love, like rock and roll, doesn't consume me 24-7, it's not love. It can be respect, appreciation, admiration, wonderment, it can be a world of glory and a lifetime of peace, but I can't call it love. Love burns me and confuses me. Love's a light that can't be extinguished.

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 Stone Temple Pilots -
It's got big riffs and really it's a rock and roll album. I think Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver fans will relate to that.
Scott Weiland Stone Temple Pilots -
Eventually I want to subsidize my income with other creative outlets that are going to not keep me tied to the road so much.
Scott Weiland Stone Temple Pilots -
I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish.

It doesn't matter what kind of problems a family is having; it should always stay in the family.

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 Stone Temple Pilots -
I want my ex-wife and children to be happy.
