You're at the hotel and after that you go to the venue and sit there and wait.

I like to be one of those drummers who actually add to the music, not one of those guys who sit in a room 24/7 trying to outwit or outplay another drummer.

When I look back, it was a strange period in my life, looking at my childhood and then my teenage years and forming Slayer when I was still 17, not out of high school.

I'm really not into the educational aspect of performing. It's not in me.

You will in the future hear me on a pop album, but that's just the experimental side of me.

Dude, I love playing drums, and I love being on stage, and I love recording. It's my life... it's been my life, all my life, and I don't think it could ever become boring for me.

I'm doing a lot of touring and things have been really busy for me.

Mike Patton is a genius... It is definitely the hardest music I've ever played.

There's a lot of down time on the road. That part of it I really don't enjoy. There's nothing to do.

We have to confront the reality of our world, and make the hard decisions about which way we want to move forward.

When I manage to keep my center, it's usually because I've taken prayer seriously.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

Do what is right, and you'll have no lasting regrets. Do what is right, and put yourself on the side of truth, goodness, and the best of life.
