Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.

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

Music is the soundtrack to my life.

Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. For everyone.

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.

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.

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.
