I'm still a recluse. I still hate everyone. I'm still a misanthrope.

Our label is very digital-friendly. We try to provide some free stuff to get interest in the band, but we have to pay our artists. They have to get paid.
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.

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.

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

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

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.
