Diet is really important, and I think vitamins are really important, also.

To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest.

Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.

I like to stay busy. I am a workaholic, and I like to be creative.

However you feel about Dimebag, this is one of the most influential metal guitar players of the '90s. I was just talking to someone that I am hiring to bring on the tour who said that, when he was at the funeral, that Eddie Van Halen came and put his striped guitar in the coffin. That's a pretty big deal.

No trick or treaters came to my house for Halloween. For some reason, people around here are scared of me.

I don't follow trends. I just do what I like doing.

I try to work out, but a lot of hotels don't have gyms anymore, so I always try to find a local gym where there's not a ton of 'roid-heads, 'cause I can't stand them. It's tough.

I don't even listen to music on the road, and if I did, it would be classical or whatever, something to chill me out.
