One of my favorite horror films of the Nineties was 'Event Horizon.'

My guitars are my umbilical cord. They're directly wired into my head.

The same sensations that you get in heavy metal are in horror movies. Heavy metal sounds evil and horror movies are evil, ha ha!

A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.

Everyone has a side to them that's kind of unexplained and feels misunderstood.

I think it's morally wrong to keep someone away from what keeps him happy.

Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.

If a guitar is too easy for me to play, it makes me too laid back. I like to battle with my guitar.

Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.

For me, one of the most perfect times to watch a horror movie is when it's cold and raining outside and there's pretty much no outdoor activity to be done. It kind of sets the mood.

Metallica is like the phoenix rising from the ashes. We set everything on fire, and this is what has risen from it - St. Anger being the fire and Death Magnetic being the phoenix.

Sorry doesn’t make anything better. It’s just a word to fill the space of a loss of words.

He was a thinker, but also a man of action.

It's not enough for an official to be good. There has to be a system that forces them to be good.

There are conditions worse than being unable to see, and that is imagining one sees.

We'd all like a reputation for generosity, and we'd all like to buy it cheap.

True life is creativity, not development: it is the freedom for creative acts, for creative fire, rather than necessity and the heaviness of congealing self-perfection.

I'm the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that is the result you are going to get. Don't you ever talk about me.

God is rich in mercy. I know this wealth of his with the certainty of experience, I have touched it.
