More quotes by 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.

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.

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

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
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
I pissed away over ten million dollars On dope and crack I passed away deader than a door knob But now I'm back

Everything shapes you to be the person you are today. Sometimes hard lessons pay off dividends.

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

Punk rock really influenced me, the basic metal bands, Zeppelin, Stones and Floyd, and Southern rock bands. I think I was pretty well-rounded.
