Oh yeah, our first tour in Europe they wouldn't give me the time off from work.

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.

Yeah, yeah I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions towards the band. The biggest one is that we're Satan worshippers, but next to that just the fact that we're normal

With every mistake, we must surely be learning.

Life as a defeated warrior with dignity is lot better than the king ruling without it.

I try to be more goofy when I'm on set now that I'm more comfortable. In real life, I'm so goofy and super weird. I'm never mean but people don't see the weird side of me.

What happens in the world affects me. Sometimes, that's part of the writing.

I set my sights on making an Olympic team, not realizing how tough it was going to be.

Engaging it produces an intense force, which in turn produces a mutation in consciousness. You become who you really are.

If my mother hadn't thrown my football boots on the fire, I might have become as famous as Denis Compton.

People, photographers, people in the press can sometimes be inappropriate.

It may be that when we no longer know... which way to go we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

And in some perfumes there is more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound.
