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

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'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.

Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?

The way to recognize a dead word is that it exudes boredom.

How good can we expect to be if our best player is not our best teammate

The reason for living is to have great relationships, to have people you love and respect and who love and respect you.

I like to think that it looks effortless rather than trying too hard. I'm not necessarily a trend-driven person. I like to kind of do my own thing.

What's wrong with shoes? I collected them because it was like a symbol of thanksgiving and love?

You can't be pro-business unless you're pro education.

Committees have become so important nowadays that subcommittees have to be appointed to do the work.

In almost any society I think, the quality of the nonconformists is likely to be just as good as and no better than that of the conformists.

I found the Divine within my Heart.
