Buckethead [former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist] is probably twice as good a guitar player as me and Slash combined, and can stand having fried chicken rubbed up against his face all night for a couple of hours.

My mom and dad got divorced when I was very young, and growing up in a family where the head of the household wasn't a man made a big difference.

I was always the new kid in school, I'm the kid from a broken family, I'm the kid who had no dad showing up at the father-son stuff, I'm the kid that was using food stamps at the grocery store.

Penelope Spheeris is a wonderful lady. She's a very talented director, and I curse better because of her.

I care more about what God knows than what man says.

I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour.

It wasn't enough for Megadeth to do well; I wanted Metallica to fail.
