• That's always the hardest question. Lately I've been listening to Derek and the Dominos, the Bar-Kays. I really like the firstPatti Smith. I'm just starting to discover the Cure. I keep trying to find things to open myself up to. I enjoySoundgarden. The singer [Chris Cornell] just buries me. The guy sings so great. On the club circuit, I like Saigon Saloon a lot.

• My growth was stopped at two years old. And when they talk about Axl Rose being a screaming two-year-old, they're right. There's a screaming two-year-old who's real pissed off and hides and won't show himself that often, even to me. Because I couldn't protect him. And the world didn't protect him.

• We wish we were doing it, of course, under much better circumstances, but this man was loved. For Chris.
