There are lasting consequences for using drugs. I'll still be paying for my prior use.

We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.

When everyone goes home, you're stuck with yourself.

It's just writing about things, feelings, not that we're dark or depressed...just as much as anyone else is.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go, I still come home me.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

I don't take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That's still there if you want it, but I don't really seek that out any more.
