Nikki Sixx People Quotations

Even as a kid, I saw the world in my own way and thought most things that were different were beautiful and magical. Even things that other people thought were horrifying and disgusting and weird.

People say I have a distorted lens. I think I see things as they really are.

It's interesting. People go to an animal shelter and pick a dog that's been kicked, beaten, and has lost a leg and an eye, and they'll take that dog home and give it love and support, but they don't do that with people.

Sometimes when people can't speak English, they hum the melody instead of singing along. Having 20,000 people humming your song is incredible.

If your album sells, that's cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we're really about-which is a live rock and roll band.

There's always people saying that rock is dead, rock is over. People are always out to kill rock and roll.

Beauty, to me, is kind, generous, and people that are humble.

I think that music is a lifestyle that you sort of intravenously plug into and unplug from when you do and don't need it. Some people live it 10 hours a day, some on weekends. It's no more important or non-important than that.

I don't want to jump through hoops for people.

Growing up in the '70s, it was only a few years before that when men started to grow their hair long. And in the '70s, people were pushing the envelope a little farther, with men having even more style and piercing both their ears and wearing makeup.

It's really cool to know that there are so many people out there that are attached to me or projects that I've done to really feel that it's a personal relationship.

I can't stand people who try too hard.

I know some people who've gotten tattoos that they probably shouldn't have, like the name of somebody they were dating, and that never ends well.

The industry needs to be run by artists, because we are the only people that care about art.

The other day I went to a movie with some friends, and they were like, 'Let's look it up on the Internet and see what people are saying,' and I was like, 'Man, that's messed up.'

What can I say that will make people that are in recovery want to stand up and support Recovery Month? A friend of mine said, 'You know, the fact that you did a really honest book and it changed people's lives, that's something to talk about.'

Each guy has his own space. We all end up in one of the other guy's rooms all the time. We always end up together, as far as people getting along.

For me, to turn people on to new music, on to things that are going on in the world, is important.

Formats are going to change because this is what the people want. It's not what the labels want.

The book is really, really dark, to the point where some people that I've talked to have said that it could be a series. And I'm like, Where? VH1? It's a little hard for VH1.

Everybody was paranoid that it was going to be the same as it used to be. People had cold feet. They weren't sure. It's like getting back into a relationship that didn't work out real well. Once we got back in, we realized why it was so magical, but it took some prodding and some time, and everything just sort of worked itself out organically.

Life can be cruel. It´s been my struggle, my personal battle, my obsession to make people see that different isn´t always bad.

In my own life I like to be poised and have a positive outlook on life, and I'm leading by example to my children and people around me.

I am not a preacher. I don't want to stand on a soapbox and tell people, "Don't drink. Don't use drugs." With my kids, I say "Don't drink. Don't do drugs." But when they turn 21, they can drink. I hope they never use drugs, but people make their own decisions. When they're old enough, they are going to have the chance to make their own decisions. I just hope I have given them enough love and support, and the ability to come and talk to me if they need to.
