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 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.

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.

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

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

Don't ever let fear get in the way because you never know what's going to open a door.

With every new day come the Lord’s great love, grace and mercies.

We forgive the crimes of individuals, but not their participation in a collective crime.

The ground for taking ignorance to be restrictive of freedom is that it causes people to make choices which they would not have made if they had seen what the realization of their choices involved.

We cannot be happy until we can love ourselves without egotism and our friends without tyranny.

We don't really remember where we came from, and we're not too sure about where we go to, if we are, after this thing we call life.

For we did not and do not wish the Temple to be placed in any servitude except that which is fitting.

Clearly, when we baptize, our eyes should gaze beyond the baptismal font to the holy temple. The great garner into which the sheaves should be gathered is the holy temple.

Call me sick. Call me deranged. I'm gonna be your worst nightmare. I'm gonna be your hero whether you like it or not!

If you live by the same values and priorities [Jesus] had, you will find evangelism happening naturally. It becomes a life-style and not a project.
