Fortune is either with you or it's not.

From the heaviest of the heavy to classical to country, that's what I listen to, I listen to a variety and I enjoy good music, good songs.

As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.

Venom was a band that strongly influenced the image and the idea behind Slayer.

I try to incorporate melody. Even though I'm screaming, I still like to think I bring melody into screaming.

Sometimes when I've gone out and murdered somebody I go and confess and stuff. And then God loves me again.

I follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a SLAYER song.

I write, I write, I always write.

I read true crime books, and I read when people do case studies of stuff. I'm into books like that. Case studies or forensics or murder - all that good stuff.

God also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.

If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it; get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.

Every day in America, African Americans are reminded of their race in ways large and small. Every day.

Human thinking depends on metaphor. We understand new and complex things in relation to the things we already know... once you pick a metaphor it will guide your thinking.

The human race shouldn't have all its eggs in one basket, or on one planet. Let's hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load.

Granddaddy used to handle snakes in church. Granny drank strychnine. I guess you could say I had a leg up, genetically speaking.

Now it is human nature to want to eat to ones fill when hungry, to want to warm up when cold, to want to rest when tired. These all are a part of people's emotional nature.
