Everything I do is metal. When I clean my house, it's metal.

I could care less about sitting around and practicing the guitar for hours a day and trying to be the best guitar player on the planet.

I love what I do, somehow I have been able to play in a band for my entire life and that is all I ever wanted to do. I love that I get to do that.

To me, the guitar is a tool for songwriting, and it's fun, too. The day that it's not fun, that's when I'm not gonna play guitar anymore.

Nobody gets into a band and thinks they're going to have a 30-year career.

I have enough to think about - I just don't ever want to have to think about my car.

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.
