I don't specifically sit down to write a Motley Crue song, so for me, that's how it works. The things that sound like they might be Crue, I put aside on my hard drive and keep them in that pile.

Motley Crue, collectively and individually, have done things on our own terms.

When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope, and that's part of Motley Crue's legacy.

I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.

There's a sound with Motley Crue, and it comes with Vince's voice, which is such an important part of the show, and Mick's guitar. And the way Tommy and me play together is an important part of it.

I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from.

The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.

You work very hard on the lyrics. Getting them to fit the contours of improvised melodies.

Songs are not on a conveyor belt. I'm not chopping them up and putting them out.

The lyrics came out of necessity. When we started writing the record, we started in a more fusion environment and that got boring really quick and that wasn't what we were about on an organic level.
