Every time I'd go out drinking I was looking for something new. But it was the same every time. I'd wake up in some bed with some person, I had a hangover and a show to do. And the truth is, it was the same every time. But now life is... pretty interesting without the alcohol.

Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much.

I'm married to Metallica.

Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?

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

There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica.

When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
