Most bands have a two-year success rate. By the third year, it's sort of over. Here we are in Poison still together 26 years later.

I want to tell the story. Mostly, when you see rock movies, it has to be this over-the-top thing. I want to give people a Bret Michaels movie where they see that my life is a comedy of errors. I also want to show my fans how to get through the kind of troubles that would leave most people flat on the floor.

I don't want to be a reality retro star.

All my life, I've been a type 1 diabetic. I've always taken life day by day.

I am truly independently owned and operated.

If I showed you what I get offered every day, you'd laugh: 'Climb the Himalayas with a backpack and float down on your ass, you'll be on TV.' I'm like, no, I want to be around music. On The Chris Isaak Show I was around music. On Yes, Dear I was around music.
