Metallica is the world to me - it always has been, and that's not going to change. I'm married to Metallica.

We like to set off bombs.

I don't remember doing anything else; I don't remember not living in the studio. I'm itching for people to hear this album because I'm sick of hearing it myself.

If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.

I was pretty quiet as a child. I kind of hung out with my family and listened to music and sh*t. I wasn't too outgoing at all.

I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.

I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.
