I pissed away over ten million dollars On dope and crack I passed away deader than a door knob But now I'm back
Al Jourgensen
Rock n Roll Animal, the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.
Al Jourgensen
Everyone reaches their point in time where either they die or they get sick of doing drugs. It started getting debilitating. I enjoy my music a lot better than my drugs.
Al Jourgensen
It was the worst night of my life. George W. Bush was reelected, and then I knew I had to do another couple of albums about this idiot. Then I had to play in front of 37 people. It was horrible. I was crying. I was freaked out.
Al Jourgensen
I got my influences from 70s bands - Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, blah blah blah. When I was growing up, we had all these crazy bands on the Top 40. Today, if Pink Floyd released Money, it wouldn't even get played.

It certainly is gravy every day above ground right now, after kicking that heroin habit. I've been given a second chance in life, and I don't want to let a minute go by without enjoying it.

I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people.
Al Jourgensen
Punk rock really influenced me, the basic metal bands, Zeppelin, Stones and Floyd, and Southern rock bands. I think I was pretty well-rounded.

If you remember the ‘90s, you weren’t there.

Rock n roll is for the young idiots, not an old fart like me.

Without intermediate artists, music is what American Idol decides is great or made by the very poor, because Sharon Osbourne's made everything free. No, we have to support our local artists. It's just that simple. Otherwise, we will have no art.
Al Jourgensen
In the 70s, what thrash was there? Punk came on, and that was cool. But there was no thrash. There were dinosaur big bands, and that was great. Those were my influences.
Al Jourgensen
I'm male gigolo. Professionally? I don't think I've ever done anything professionally.
Al Jourgensen
I'm for Barack Obama. We gotta have the Muslim cell in there just to piss Rush Limbaugh and the right wing off.
Al Jourgensen
I'd still prefer to do five nights at a club than one night at Allstate Arena.
Al Jourgensen
There are people all over the world starving and here we are trying to get pot delivered for free we felt kind of guilty.
Al Jourgensen
We just did three albums in a row of shaking our fists in the air and yelling about George W.Bush and the government. I didn't think I was going to have to do three, but the idiot kept getting reelected. I just wanted to remind people that Ministry is actually a good rock band. We can do some party stuff, too.
Al Jourgensen
This rock thing got in the way of my teaching career.
Al Jourgensen
I've never seen the Osbournes, I've never seen Paris Hilton. I'd rather read than watch reality TV. I'd rather live life than watch somebody else living it.

It's all downloading. As a matter of fact, within five years, there will be no CDs.
