I think to stay in one sound is a career killer.

Any time you're stepping out on a limb as an artist, it's scary, especially when you have a lot of success. When you're reaching a lot of people, the masses, it's easy to stay in that niche, you know? Especially when you're making a lot of money and you know there's a formula, it's easy to stay in that rut.

From Scott Weiland

There was a period when STP and I weren't making music - we weren't getting along very good at all. But I had my studio, so I was writing and recording a lot of music. But something told me not to put it out. It was all stream of consciousness; it was clever, but it didn't really have substance.

From Scott Weiland

Anytime I feel squeezed into a box, I just lash out. My gut reaction is to strike. It's a different character onstage: there's a whole dark sexuality that's completely different from me. You know, I don't let anybody know who I really am.

From Scott Weiland

There was a period of time where I really hated rock music.

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

From Scott Weiland

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.

From Scott Weiland

I can't read sheet music, I have to just listen to it, and then just go for it.

From Scott Weiland

I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish.
