Authority pisses me off. I think everyone should be able to drink and get loud whenever they want.

No secret that I enjoy motor sports and cars in particular, building cars, building custom cars. Part of that scene. I love the flow of the cars and I love the art part of them. I love the sleekness and the uniqueness of each car that you can dream up.

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

We'd record a song that people liked and wanted to hear on the radio, and the radio wouldn't play it because it was too long. Or they wanted to edit it, which we wouldn't allow.

Rap is just to me very annoying.

Every band that I've known that has done side projects or things like that - I don't respect them anymore.

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