Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. For everyone.
James Hetfield
Rap is just to me very annoying.
James Hetfield
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.
James Hetfield
I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.

James Hetfield
Every breath I take becomes deeper, and I become more confident of myself without my crutches. The lies I've filled my body and soul with aren't needed anymore. They're not welcome. I choose to live, not just exist.
James Hetfield
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
James Hetfield

James Hetfield
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
James Hetfield
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.
James Hetfield
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.
James Hetfield
Every band that I've known that has done side projects or things like that - I don't respect them anymore.
James Hetfield
My vocals are bad, I can't sing, hey man, I wouldn't ask you to do a drum roll if your arm was falling off.
James Hetfield
If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.
James Hetfield
Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?
James Hetfield
You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.

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