As long as it says Metallica on the record it's Metallica.

If there was no Black Sabbath, I could still possibly be a morning newspaper delivery boy. No fun.

The worst day of my life was once that my mom didn't allow me to go to a Queen concert because I was grounded.

One of my few shortcomings is that I can't predict the future.

I'm just sittin here trying not to be unhappy.

Stretching your parameters is a necessity if you wan to keep growing, and sometimes the best way to do that is to dive into the deep end.

This isn't about fans, greed or money. It's about being morally right or wrong. Nobody is governing the way music gets from artists to fans. It's all running amok.

The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones.

Some people try and tell you what the songs are about and it bores me to death.

Metallica's the only band I've ever been in and it's the only band I ever wanna be in.

Sharing's only fun when it's not your stuff.

Devote yourself to reading.

To be content is to count your blessings.

Modelling is a silly, crazy business.

I wrote my first piano piece when I was in 4th grade.

Praise is sometimes a good thing for the diffident and the despondent. It teaches them properly to rely on the kindness of others.

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness.

Nothing succeeds like reports of success.

Any show in its first season is going to probably have some growing pains.
