Frank Zappa... was Beethoven for insane rock guys.

I'm not the kind of guy who sits around at home and writes songs. Once in a while I'll pick up a guitar and noodle around, but it's rare.

Why would heavy metal ever go away?

Music and songs are written at different periods of time, at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest, I quite like having positive emotions.

At some point around '94 or '95, 'Rolling Stone' said that guitar rock was dead and that the Chemical Brothers were the future. I think that was the last issue of 'Rolling Stone' I ever bought.

Anthrax, it's something that gets you sick, it's horrible, strong. It's a heavy-metal band name if there ever was one.

I'm just not a big fan of the too-cool-for-school indie world. Metal bands have never been invited or been able to be part of the cool kids, and I like it that way.

When you're younger - duh - you don't really have the tools to deal with certain things in your life.

I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.

I think the best riffs and the best songs come when you're jamming and having a good time.

All the roads of life end in death.

All action is vicarious faith.

Resistless change, when powerless to improve, Can only mar.

Mario, what do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic and a dyslexic?

Until Scrubs, I didnt have a business manager. I learned everything on my own - and I learned the hard way.

If you let Barnum & Bailey interpret a plot by Stendahl, it might come out to be something like the 1972 Democratic convention.

And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord is risen. Our joy that hath no end.

Shared danger is the strongest of bonds; it will keep men united in spite of mutual dislike and suspicion.

My one concession to American sensibilities was to remove my nail polish.

Elitism is the slur directed at merit by mediocrity.
