I just to put out the best records I can and perform the best I can.

I like to be one of those drummers who actually add to the music, not one of those guys who sit in a room 24/7 trying to outwit or outplay another drummer.

When I look back, it was a strange period in my life, looking at my childhood and then my teenage years and forming Slayer when I was still 17, not out of high school.

I'm really not into the educational aspect of performing. It's not in me.

You will in the future hear me on a pop album, but that's just the experimental side of me.

Dude, I love playing drums, and I love being on stage, and I love recording. It's my life... it's been my life, all my life, and I don't think it could ever become boring for me.

I'm doing a lot of touring and things have been really busy for me.

Mike Patton is a genius... It is definitely the hardest music I've ever played.

There's a lot of down time on the road. That part of it I really don't enjoy. There's nothing to do.

You're at the hotel and after that you go to the venue and sit there and wait.

Don't go looking for boys in the darkThey will say pretty things thenleave you with scars.Do go looking for boys in the parkFor that is where the true gentlemen are.

One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.

Timing can be everything and wisdom requires the patience to wait as well as the courage to leap when the time becomes right.

These newspaper reporters... ever since Sullivan versus New York Times... have got a license to lie.

I have a lot of hope for the Constituent Assembly.

I never thought about heaven per se. I think when you're dead, you're dead. If anything happens after that, you just hope you don't go to hell.

Either I did away with that fear through writing, or in the course of writing, I discovered it was no longer so intrusive or threating. The bottom line is, it's gone.

Love is scary: it changes; it can go away. That's the part of the risk. I don't want to be scared anymore.

We figure out what death means when we're born, practically, and we live our whole lives in some kind of weird denial about it.

I come from a good family. I come from a faith-based family.
