Heavy metal is a universal energy -- it's the sound of a volcano. It's rock, it's earth shattering. Somewhere in our primal being we understand.

I've been too productive for too long, and despite what anybody wants to strip away from me, I am influential. I am.

Being in a rock band is just an excuse not to get a job

I'm not interested in pop art.

When you move artistically, the natural inclination is to denounce everything that's gone before.

I'm by nature kind of a glum person, but I'm not a sad pathetic

I've become a guy who's like a complaining, whining neurotic.
