Rehab is like college for your head.

If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.

The band? No way! There ain't no band. The band is not 'the band' right now. It's just three guys.

It's good to listen to lots of different stuff, just whatever you like. The first two records I ever bought were Alice Cooper, Killer and Jethro Tull, Aqualung. That's two weird records to begin with, but I think they hold up well.

I'd much rather talk about guitar playing. I hate it when people ask me about my lyrics. I always feel like telling them to just go and read them.

The fans like the idea we do what we want. It's not an act. Screw the record company and the beaten path. Without MTV or radio, we still have a huge underground following.

Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much.

A lot of times, I'll have a goal, I'll start writing, and I'll end up in some far off place, which is good. It's nice to have a focus, but letting the lyrics write themselves where they need to go is important.

There was so much good and different music back then and you'd just keep moving through it and discovering more new stuff. I went through my Black Sabbath phase before I even started playing guitar.

I'd rather regret doing something than not doing something.

Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. For everyone.

Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.

Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?

Music is the soundtrack to my life.

There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.

I'm always feeling like I don't belong, no matter where I am. So I'm just searching for a family nonstop, and sometimes I find it in the mosh pit, sometimes I find it when I'm doing some French TV show with the president's wife.
