In my first bands I was a singing guitar player, but if you heard any of those songs you wouldn't describe me as a singer. But I can make it work.

I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

Shortly after that, we got management problems over in England, and Judas Priest asked me to join.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

I've got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them.

A lot of bands that reunite do it for the wrong reasons. They do it for the bucks and everybody can sense it.

I never took a lesson until I was 20, and I'm glad I had those years living the life of a normal person. I don't consider that time wasted.

Back in 1994 there was no Judas Priest.

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.

I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices.

You can survive life by faith.

Some women just aren’t cut out to be mothers, and unfortunately it had taken Susanna three kids to realize she was one of them.

For me, 'revolution' simply means radical change.

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.

I may not have all the time I thought I had.

Imagine trying to relive your worst break-up, your worst fight, the most painful death of a loved one, and just really relive it step by step, and bring it up and apply it to the scene you're in.

A man with a soul is not like every other man.

I enjoy directing. I don't know whether it's improving or not, but it's certainly evolving in different directions.

I think the very idea of the social contract is in disarray.

The old people must start talking and the young people must start listening.
