More quotes by James Hetfield
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
James Hetfield
One time we saw some hookers but when we got closer we realized it was Motley Crue.
James Hetfield
There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.
James Hetfield
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.
James Hetfield
It's a good feeling, that you can put your heart out there, no matter how black it is, and people can understand it.
James Hetfield
No secret that I enjoy motor sports and cars in particular, building cars, building custom cars. Part of that scene. I love the flow of the cars and I love the art part of them. I love the sleekness and the uniqueness of each car that you can dream up.
James Hetfield
I've discovered that sheer quantity doesn't necessarily make for a heavier sound if anything, overdubs make guitars sound mushier.
James Hetfield
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
James Hetfield

James Hetfield

James Hetfield
We like to set off bombs.
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
You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.
James Hetfield
Rehab is like college for your head.
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
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.
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'd rather regret doing something than not doing something.
James Hetfield
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
