Being in the studio, it's more of a controlled environment, where you can be Salvador Dali and sit back and look at the painting. And you can go, 'Ah, you know what? Maybe a little bit more red over here...maybe add some blue over here.' You can sit back and look at the painting.

You have to have passion for what you're doing.

You never toot your own horn.

It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan

Face your fear Accept your war it is what it is.

As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.

You have to have passion for anything you do. Whether it's sports, whether it's music, whether you want to be Mother Theresa, you have to have passion for what it is you do, or what's the point in getting up in the morning and getting out of bed?
