People think of Jews as the Woody Allen stereotype, the nebbishy kind of thing, but that's not the kind of Jews I know. I know plenty of Israelis and plenty of tough guys that are Jewish. So, I think it makes sense that Jews play metal.

I kind of live in this weird world where I am exposed to a lot of stuff, but then again I am not exposed to a lot of stuff.

I will absolutely say that Johnny Ramone was a huge influence on me. I'm a giant Ramones fan.

I don't even know who that person was in the '80s. I see pictures of myself from back then and I don't even recognize myself.

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

As big as Metallica are, they're still not like a pop act. As big as they are, they're still not U2 or Lady Gaga. It's still underground.

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