I collect books and I have some really, really old schoolbooks, and God is mentioned on every single page.

Megadeth is a legend, and I'm not gonna cheapen it like some of these bands that keep going long after they should.

To me, the most important thing was to treat people the way you want to be treated. Some people say that I'm a mean person. Well, you know what? The person that's saying that is probably a dipshit and I put them in their place! I have a knack for doing that.

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.

If I'm gonna commit suicide, I'll go out eatin' pussy to death.

When I left New York, after getting fired from Metallica, all I remember is that I wanted blood. Theirs.

I could do Rust In Peace again, but I don't want to. I could have followed that formula but, God, why? I would have to have done so much heroin and cocaine - and I wasn't going to. Not if I'm paying for it!
