I love what I do, somehow I have been able to play in a band for my entire life and that is all I ever wanted to do. I love that I get to do that.

I'm not the kind of guy who sits around at home and writes songs. Once in a while I'll pick up a guitar and noodle around, but it's rare.

Why would heavy metal ever go away?

Music and songs are written at different periods of time, at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest, I quite like having positive emotions.

At some point around '94 or '95, 'Rolling Stone' said that guitar rock was dead and that the Chemical Brothers were the future. I think that was the last issue of 'Rolling Stone' I ever bought.

Anthrax, it's something that gets you sick, it's horrible, strong. It's a heavy-metal band name if there ever was one.

I'm just not a big fan of the too-cool-for-school indie world. Metal bands have never been invited or been able to be part of the cool kids, and I like it that way.

I really don't worry about what people say or what they have to say or what they think - it just doesn't matter.

When you're younger - duh - you don't really have the tools to deal with certain things in your life.

I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.

Frank Zappa... was Beethoven for insane rock guys.

It has always been my contention that an individual who can be relied upon to be himself and to be honest unto himself can be relied upon in every other way.

I'm on a roller coaster which only goes up my friend

A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values.

My point has always been that, ever since the Industrial Revolution, science fiction has been the most important genre there is.

If fitness came in a bottle,everyone would have a great body. Skip the quick fixes;hard work is what ensures lasting results!

Mind is buddha. This is not our brain; it's not our head.

I think I say things nicely and my whole goal is to be understood and that includes by people who don't understand me.

Pilgrims who are looking for a cure are soon looking for a curio.

With my writing, I generally just pretend that no one's reading it. I allow myself that delusion so that I can write the things that I write.
