Sometimes [people] say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. in my case, i am pretty fortunate. [ my kids]'re pretty balanced, cool kids, going through pretty much the same thing all the other kids go through. there's nothing unique about me as a parent. i am a parent. my kids are kids. we do the best we can do. i don't think they know a lot about what i do, other than that i am in this crazy band, mötley crüe.

More From Nikki Sixx

My all time favorite band is paramore and she's basically one of the reasons i was inspired... umm, well hayley williams from paramore was one of the basic reasons i wanted to go rock. i saw the band live and they're great together and they write incredible music and also i like a lot of older bands. i like motley crue a lot and who else, i've got a lot of favorite bands but those are pretty much the main ones.
Writing Rocks Together
Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.
Country Stupid Moving
What i learned, more than anything, was that you can't have it all balanced perfectly at any one time. when i was young, it was much more balanced toward work. when i had my children, it was much more balanced toward love and family, and i didn't get a lot of work done. so you can't ask of it to be perfectly balanced at any time, but your hope is, before you die, you've somehow had each of those spheres come to life. that's probably more important than success in any one of those spheres alone.
Children Important Spheres
When i hire somebody really senior, competence is the ante. they have to be really smart. but the real issue for me is, are they going to fall in love with apple? because if they fall in love with apple, everything else will take care of itself. they'll want to do what's best for apple, not what's best for them, what's best for steve, or anybody else.
Life Senior Falling In Love
Nikki lives around the corner from me and i see him all the time. we talk a lot, and of course we're still friends. that was our baby, motley crue, we put that band together.

I never knew how soothing trees are-many trees and patches of open sunlight, and tree presences; it is almost like having another being.

Time that weakens all things else has but strengthened the impregnable position of the believer's faith and hope and confidence. and as, year by year, the tree adds another ring to its circumference, every age has added the testimony of its events to this great truth. "the grass withereth, and the flower fadeth, but the word of the lord shall endure forever.

People aren't trees, so it is false when they speak of roots.
