With this LP we were all very clear on the approach we wanted to take, which was to do something heavy, but also experiment with a lot of other things we really like.

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.

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

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.

People having a victim complex invite someone to tease them into their lives though they could have mutually beneficial relationships

When you believe, the whole world with all of her positive-synchronized power dares to help you.

We’re all a little broken, on the sidewalk. On the street. In the city.

He that never changes his opinions and never corrects his mistakes will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today.

The little things that you do From across the room I see you sendin' me clues They're in the way You make me move

Romance often begins by a splashing waterfall and ends over a leaky sink.

Pray, pray be composed, and do not betray what you feel to every body present

When you can't see any reason for loving a person, you must be loving him as a symbol of something, don't you think so?

Live, be, move, rejoice -- you are alive!

What happens in the past, is in the past. But don't be surprised if it comes back and haunts you.
