I've had plenty of big hits and plenty of big misses.

I think there are definite parallels between sport and art. There's a real sense of sacrifice. There's a real sense of dedication that is needed in sport that I think you can attribute to art. I think so much of it is about bravery and courage, being an actor.

I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life. So if you're playing a builder you get to know about building, if you're playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive... that's part of the reason I love it.
Matt Smith Poison -
I am truly independently owned and operated.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
I love it. It's all good to me. Whether I'm performing in New York, L.A., Columbus or Des Moines, I give 110 percent every night.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
I used to read Gore Vidal books and think I was cool.
Matt Smith Poison -
Read about a few men who wear (or wore) bow ties as an act of defiance, and check out a tie that makes a strong statement. Bow ties are cool.

As a kid, I knew all of the dinosaurs. It's one of those tragedies that I've forgotten what dinosaurs are cool.

When something in life occurs that is troubling, we are supposed to not dwell on the thing itself. Instead, the focus should be on our obligation to turn this bad thing into something beautiful. It's not easy. But, if you focus your creative energy away from self-torture and onto ‘how you can turn this into something beautiful’ pretty remarkable things start to happen.

You'll laugh at the comedy of errors that is my life.

We didn't start Theocracy because we wanted to be cool like so-and-so and make money. Our songs aren't trendy, and our lyrics hopefully make people think about certain concepts in a new way.

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.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
I think that every artistic venture is a risk, and it has to be that way, so you do as much preparation as you can and make that as thorough as you can possibly make it, until you turn up on set. It's about taking risks, and some might work and some might not, but that's what makes it interesting.

The majority of romantic comedy movies have nothing to do with love, but everything to do with infatuation.

When I write, I'm writing as a fan, and trying to come up with songs that I would want to listen to.
Matt Smith Poison -
I used to love ninja movies. That was my thing.

For me as a solo artist, I never want to be a nostalgia act.
Bret Michael Sychak Poison -
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.

If I was making a tea advert, I would want to communicate about tea is that it can console you, it can start your day, there is the warmth and the ritual, and you can share it; you make someone a cup of tea and you offer it to them.
Matt Smith Poison -
Everyone wants to go to the party and the red carpet, but my life is 90% the work.

A lot of times, people have forgotten about an album by the time it's released, because it leaked three months earlier. Very strange days we live in.
Matt Smith Poison -
It's very rare that I play cool people. I'm not sure what that says about me.
Matt Smith Poison -
I think Christians should be leaders in art, science, philanthropy, charity, and all kinds of good works. We should be good examples for everyone. Unfortunately though, that's not often the case.

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.
