More quotes by James Hetfield
I was pretty quiet as a child. I kind of hung out with my family and listened to music and sh*t. I wasn't too outgoing at all.
James Hetfield

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
When you're an actor and you walk into a theatre where your movie is playing, you're kinda proud. Look at my skill!
James Hetfield
I'm married to Metallica.
James Hetfield
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
James Hetfield
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.
James Hetfield
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
