I have very mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I’m concerned that the rampant downloading of my copyright-protected material over the Internet is severely eating into my album sales and having a decidedly adverse effect on my career. On the other hand, I can get all the Metallica songs I want for FREE! WOW!

You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.

If money can't buy happiness, then I guess I'll have to rent it.

There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea.

Like, I have had moments, which I think most people have, where you'll be watching TV, and it'll be interrupted by some tragic event, and you'll actually find yourself thinking, 'I don't want to hear about this train being derailed! What happened to 'The Flintstones'?'

I don't watch a lot of other people's parodies because I don't want to be unduly influenced.

People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation.
