I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.
There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica.
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
Everybody is born good and everybody has got the same size soul. We're here to connect with that.
If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.
If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.
I don't remember doing anything else; I don't remember not living in the studio. I'm itching for people to hear this album because I'm sick of hearing it myself.
Any time somebody is into your band that's a good thing. And if they're in a really cool, really popular band, that's a better thing.
When you're an actor and you walk into a theatre where your movie is playing, you're kinda proud. "Look at my skill!"
Music was the voice I didn't have.
Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. for everyone.
Every band that I've known that has done side projects or things like that - I don't respect them anymore.
I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.
