When you're talking about Paul and you're talking about photo shoots and he's showing you some old stuff and then you see a photo of Sinatra in between images of Guns N Roses and Slaughter, you're like, who is this guy? We recognized he's not entering our world, we're entering his. And that's just the thing, as time went on and we understood what Paul had already done and how great he is at what he does, it was always a pleasure to know he was still hanging around. -- Steve Gorman, the Black Crowes
