I just don't write musically, but lyrically, yeah I write.

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.

Without industry and frugality, nothing will do; with them, everything.

There's a huge emotional component to weight loss.

You know, for years I used to read about myself. They'd say, 'He has a temper' or 'He's a bully' or something like that, and it always bothered me.

The autobiographical doesn't interest me. I could think of few things less interesting than rooting about in my life.

Breathing is the first act of life, and the last.

It's not easy to take three ships out of service.

Your best servant is the person who does not attend so much to hearing what he himself wants as to willing what he has heard from you.
