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

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

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

I'm just not a big fan of the too-cool-for-school indie world. Metal bands have never been invited or been able to be part of the cool kids, and I like it that way.

I'm certainly not a practicing Jew. I would never claim, 'I'm Jewish.' That's not the first and foremost thing in my mind, as far as who I am as a person.

Metal guys are huge nerds. A good percentage of them are either horror or sci-fi or comic book or fantasy nerds.

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