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'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 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.

I think the best riffs and the best songs come when you're jamming and having a good time.

Don't Cry For Someone, Who Killed Your Smile.

Please, Kenzie, Jonah thought. Please, please, please back off from this. His life wasn't much, but it was all he had, this small safe space, walled in by secrets.

For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.

Without forgiveness life is governed ... by an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.

Occasionally I go shopping for clothes, but I find the whole thing a real chore.

All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

"Welcome to our camp!" Blackstar called, beckoning them with his tail. "Rest here and take your pick of the fresh-kill pile." "Who are you and what have you done with Blackstar?" Lionblaze muttered.

When it comes to social issues, Republicans dont just need to be more empathetic. They also need to be more emphatic in explaining to voters what they believe, and why.

One can't live with one's finger everlastingly on one's pulse.

The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around and to “re-turn” toward God.
