I am the type that cannot stay put in living in the past and solely in the past. It's not healthy and it doesn't feel right.

You gotta look beyond the mainstream... the mainstream'll drown you, you know? There's always a pulse in the underground that I love. And the pulse in the underground is what keeps heavy metal alive.

I tried to take heavy metal... and balled it up and chopped it in half and really tried to create a new form of energy. I really tried to re-shape extreme music as I see it through my eyes.

You're always going to have detractors, and you're always going to have people who love you, and that's how it's perfectly balanced and the world spins on.

When I die bury me in smoke.

In my better sense of mind, I know that Im far from alone and far from the worst, and the earth keeps spinning. Everything keeps moving, with or without me.

I don't care at all about the mainstream; I don't care about popularity contests; I don't care about who's got the biggest-selling album; and I don't care about glossy production.

I'm a bad pessimist. I don't think about how successful any record I've ever done is going to do before it came out.

To me, I'm for a band whose forefront is the music.

I won't lie to you and make you believe what's evil, is making love, and making friends, and meeting God your own way... the RIGHT way.

I may be loaded. I may be drunk. But I ain't stupid.

The zeal to live and the fire in my heart, is strong enough to burn away any obstacle that may come on my way. I love life too much to be suicidal.

To be great at anything that you do, you have to love it! but also give it your all..

You act like you're okay, Like everything is just fine.But you can't hide a frown, And smile at the same time.

Don't worry. You'll find your message in your mess.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Denying the undeniable just makes you sound like a fool as well as a liar.

I wanted to end the world but,I'll settle for ending yours.

Filmmaking is exploring. Why would I want to make a film about something I already understand?

You are the butter to my bread,and the breath to my life

I get mad when people are against pot.
