Mixdown Magazine caught up with Nikki Sixx and talked about Sixx:A.M. and his various other projects, which credited Mötley Crüe’s success for giving him these opportunities.

“Mötley was the best thing to ever happen to me – because of it, people became aware of who I was and were interested in the books I write, the radio show I host and the photography that I do,” says Sixx. “A lot of it's been self-taught, too – I'd never hosted a radio show before, and I still consider myself an amateur in photography. It's always been important to me to be an artist that's never chasing money – you do these things because you love it. That's all.”
