“That connectivity with the audience that I get to enjoy, that's my chu...” — Duff McKagan Quote

That connectivity with the audience that I get to enjoy, that's my church. It's not one of ego or anything like, 'I'm on the stage and the lights.' It's just this connectivity, and it's always been that way for me.

When you start a band, you have to find people that are good, have the same sort of mindset as you musically.

I kind of feel bad that I don't know the names of the people in Girls Aloud!

Is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that important to me? No. Is it something I've aspired towards? No.

I just don't like reality TV.

I've heard stories about keepers who couldn't stand each other. Everyone in football has a big ego and we all think we should play. But it is not up to me that I or the other goalie is not playing.

As a musician and a songwriter, it is an act of the ego to believe that other people might be interested in your point of view. But it is usually an empathetic nature that gets you going in the first place. Music keeps the heart porous in many ways.

I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn't a star, just an actress. Forget it. I'm a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it.

I have to not let anything get to me and not get an ego about it and just do what I want to do, do things because I like them, and make the music that I like unapologetically.
