More quotes by 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
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
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 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
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.

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
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.
James Hetfield
We'd record a song that people liked and wanted to hear on the radio, and the radio wouldn't play it because it was too long. Or they wanted to edit it, which we wouldn't allow.
James Hetfield
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
James Hetfield
When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
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
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.
James Hetfield
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.
James Hetfield
One time we saw some hookers but when we got closer we realized it was Motley Crue.
James Hetfield
We like to set off bombs.
James Hetfield
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
James Hetfield
Rap is just to me very annoying.
James Hetfield
There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.
James Hetfield
