My studio, nicknamed ‘Funny Farm,’ is in a hidden location. It’s very private. Not only do I create my photography there, but it is also where I write my books and create music. – Nikki Sixx
I remember opening up my first vinyl and seeing the incredible artwork it had. There’s nothing like it. You also get that true gritty sound on vinyl that really makes a rock record sound great, which CDs can never achieve. – Nikki Sixx
What inspires me? I am so inspired every day. I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love. – Nikki Sixx
We all fall off the wagon. It’s only one day; it’s not the rest of your life. Pick yourself up and go again. – Nikki Sixx
My mom, you know, took off when I was about 6. What ended up happening is I ended up being with my grandparents. – Nikki Sixx
I’m not religious, but by nature I am spiritual. I’m an artist, and creativity seems to go hand in hand with spirituality. But I have a knee-jerk reaction against organized religions. Actually, I have knee-jerk reactions against anything that’s organized. – Nikki Sixx
I have a wonderful assistant. I tell her I need four amputees and a midget, and she finds them. – Nikki Sixx
SIXX: A.M. is a passion project. I think when you do things like that and put your heart into them and do your best and don’t necessarily put them on a marketing grid, that’s when things turn out the best. – Nikki Sixx
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.’ – Nikki Sixx
For those that don’t know, my sister was born with Down Syndrome, and she was institutionalized in the very early sixties. Me, being just a small boy and being shuffled around between my mother and grandparents, I never knew her. – Nikki Sixx
They say the music you listen to in your formative years stays with you and leaves an impression for the rest of your life. For me, the things that I fell in love with happened in the ’70s, when artists were nurtured by record companies and it wasn’t about singles. – Nikki Sixx
When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope, and that’s part of Motley Crue’s legacy. – Nikki Sixx
There’s nothing unique about me as a parent. I am a parent. My kids are kids. We do the best we can do. – Nikki Sixx
Los Angeles has been my home since the days even before Motley Crue, so I am beyond excited that ‘The Side Show’ has found a home on 98.7 FM. This is the station I listen to – my friends listen to it, my family listens to it. It’s the station I wanted to be on, and I’m psyched to get started. – Nikki Sixx
When I go into rehearsal rooms and meet with bands, they’re genuinely excited to be with me because of what I’ve done as an artist, not because of anything else. There’s that whole celebrity rock star thing, and artists are into artists who have been able to achieve success their way. – Nikki Sixx
The industry needs to be run by artists, because we are the only people that care about art. – Nikki Sixx
I’m always willing to talk to somebody if they have something to say that is interesting. – Nikki Sixx
