To me, I'm for a band whose forefront is the music.

You gotta look beyond the mainstream... the mainstream'll drown you, you know? There's always a pulse in the underground that I love. And the pulse in the underground is what keeps heavy metal alive.

I tried to take heavy metal... and balled it up and chopped it in half and really tried to create a new form of energy. I really tried to re-shape extreme music as I see it through my eyes.

You're always going to have detractors, and you're always going to have people who love you, and that's how it's perfectly balanced and the world spins on.

When I die bury me in smoke.

In my better sense of mind, I know that Im far from alone and far from the worst, and the earth keeps spinning. Everything keeps moving, with or without me.

I don't care at all about the mainstream; I don't care about popularity contests; I don't care about who's got the biggest-selling album; and I don't care about glossy production.

I'm a bad pessimist. I don't think about how successful any record I've ever done is going to do before it came out.

I am the type that cannot stay put in living in the past and solely in the past. It's not healthy and it doesn't feel right.

I won't lie to you and make you believe what's evil, is making love, and making friends, and meeting God your own way... the RIGHT way.

I may be loaded. I may be drunk. But I ain't stupid.

If it is God’s business, then it should be your business.

The better you were able to imagine what you wanted to imagine, the farther you could flee from reality.

Lustre of man walking proud beneath the sky diminishes to nothing and goes unregarded.

A mind always in contact with children and servants, whose aspirations and ambitions rise no higher than the roof that shelters it, is necessarily dwarfed in its proportions.

The emergence of Casual Fridays has created a fine line of fashion ion dos and donts.

Take nothing for granted. Make an emotional discovery as often as you can find one in every scene. Ask yourself: What is new?

People who are strangers to liquor are incapable of talking about literature.

When man tries to imagine Paradise on earth, the immediate result is a very respectable Hell.

Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.

Sexual harassment at work... is it a problem for the self-employed?
