You want to meet a bunch of really friendly people? Go to a Slayer concert. There'll be some real psychos there, but most of those people will take care of each other.

For myself, I can't understand a life without a job. I don't know what I would do without employment. Retirement is out of the question for me.

Break from self rejection, try some introspection.

To combat the confusion and depression that assault me when I come off the road in the middle of a tour, I seek the most oblivionated music possible. When it's the 'way out there' that I seek, I go right to my stash of amazing music from Japan.

I think it's important to have some documentation of the past.

Misery, depression, elation all mine, refine confinement all my design.

Rarely do I do film press because I'm so low on the food chain of the movie, and for me it's just this thing I did for four weeks before the next tour started.

I'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.

Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.

To hate is to show you still care, who needs that, focus on what's really important.

I don't hate the government. I don't think the Second Amendment is being infringed upon.

Most of the people who call me a sellout were 7 when I was down face-first in the punk trenches.

Always knowing you're going to die And until then knowing you've got to live.

A man came up to me the other day and said he hadn't had a bite in weeks. So you know what I did? I walked by him like he didn't even exist.

Humans will take a rain forest and lose it and cover it with concrete. They will take the woods and turn it into a parking garage and I am not saying that's bad. I am just saying that's what we do. We occupy the planet with a vengeance. We seek to dominate it.

When I was a kid looking at pictures of the Sphynx, and the Pyramids, and different tribes in Africa, all of that stuck with me, and I always wanted to see those things and meet those people.

I live my life by the numbers. Not only am I an American, I am an Americanist.

While I have not ruled out the possibility of doing music, what I don't want to do is go onstage and perform old songs. I do, all the time, but I don't think it is artistically brave.

There is a concerted effort to keep you and me, you know, the people, away from what it war really looks like, 'cause when you're selling war, when it's such a big industry. What they don't tell you is the rest of it and the down side of it. And so obviously there is a lot of money and a lot of time and effort being spent on that campaign perpetual war for perpetual peace.

Football is at least as 'gay' as rugby, Greco-Roman wrestling and the film '300.'
