Theres a thousand other things I would rather spend money on than a car.

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 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.

Inherent rights are from God, and the tragedies of the world originate in their attempted denial.

I am the best person in the universe.

Fish rule the waters, but can be caught using worms.Birds rule the air, but can be caught using grain.

This wasn't the first time that I'd come close to death, but it was the first time I'd been involved in this part of it, this strange, terrible saying goodbye to someone you've loved.

There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.

If you don't develop your skill at enjoying what you have, you won't be any happier when you get more.

If it is not profitable for the common good that authority should be retained, it ought to be relinquished.

I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.

You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death.

People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.
