This isn't about fans, greed or money. It's about being morally right or wrong. Nobody is governing the way music gets from artists to fans. It's all running amok.

If there was no Black Sabbath, I could still possibly be a morning newspaper delivery boy. No fun.

The worst day of my life was once that my mom didn't allow me to go to a Queen concert because I was grounded.

One of my few shortcomings is that I can't predict the future.

I'm just sittin here trying not to be unhappy.

Stretching your parameters is a necessity if you wan to keep growing, and sometimes the best way to do that is to dive into the deep end.

The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones.

Some people try and tell you what the songs are about and it bores me to death.

Metallica's the only band I've ever been in and it's the only band I ever wanna be in.

Sharing's only fun when it's not your stuff.

I don't like to be pigeonholed, and I really like that people never really know what's going on with Metllica.

You can't predict the outcome. You can't raise a child and then tell them what to think.

People are people, messy and mutable, combining differently with one another from day to day - even hour to hour.

You can choose what you do, you cant choose what you like to do.

Pray about everything and worry about nothing. You will enjoy life much more.

Thing that was very different for me is that an American child's reading is filled with Americans.

Architecture appears for the first time when the sunlight hits a wall. The sunlight did not know what it was before it hit a wall.

When man, governed by reasonable laws, enjoys his natural freedom, let him despise woman, if she do not share it with him.

Happiness is an enemy. It weakens you. Suddenly, you have something to lose.

I barely noticed loneliness anymore; it was my normal condition, by necessity if not by nature.

True artistic renewal does not mean being stripped of fetters. It means moving into new fetters.
