I think the best riffs and the best songs come when you're jamming and having a good time.

I find it much easier to write comic-books than lyrics actually because it's a natural dialogue. Writing song lyrics is not natural but over the years I know what I need to know to get it done. I find it quite easy to capture a character and use my own personality and humour.

Anthrax, it's something that gets you sick, it's horrible, strong. It's a heavy-metal band name if there ever was one.

Music and songs are written at different periods of time, at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest, I quite like having positive emotions.

The internet is a great thing but the worst thing that it brought to the music business was piracy and it's made making stuff available really difficult.

Frank Zappa... was Beethoven for insane rock guys.

I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.
