hands play people
People ask how I learned to play bass with one hand. Well, with a face like mine, you learn to do a lot of things with one hand.
taken joy deeds
Base not your joy on the deeds of others. For what has been given can be taken away.
sports
We're the only species who hunts for sport.
dyed elvis gonna wanna wrinkled
To see someone 70 years old with dyed black hair, you're like, 'Hmmm, I dunno. Is that a wrinkled teenager? What is that?' So at some point, I'm going to have to stop doing this. It's gonna look ridiculous. I don't wanna look like Elvis Presley at 60 years old.
american-musician people
So I don't cry anymore, I just beat people up. It's a lot more fun.
atheists change crisis death hoping realize start time
There are no atheists in foxholes, they say, and I was a foxhole atheist for a long time. But after going through a midlife crisis and having many things change very quickly, it made me realize my mortality. And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God.
human million
I'm a 'specist.' I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race. I'm the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man.
black lines band
I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.

We did a lot of in-store signings around that time, and occasionally guys came up with that issue of Playgirl and wanted me to sign the centerfold.

I think all recent music sucks, and that includes Type O Negative.

I think I've changed a lot as a person
thinking mind bores
I think aerobics are great, of course, but it just bores me out of my mind
thinking voice opinion
I think anyone who has an opinion, and voices it, will offend someone.
mother believe thinking
And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it's a frightening thought to go nowhere. I also can't believe that people like Stalin and Hitler are gonna go to the same place as Mother Teresa.
