I was pretty quiet as a child.

Send me money, send me green, and Heaven you will meet. Make your contribution and you'll get a better seat.

As far as artists and musicians, they don't retire. They might tour less.

I'd much rather talk about guitar playing. I hate it when people ask me about my lyrics. I always feel like telling them to just go and read them.

Any time somebody is into your band that's a good thing. And if they're in a really cool, really popular band, that's a better thing.

I'm married to Metallica.

The band? No way! There ain't no band. The band is not 'the band' right now. It's just three guys.
