I'm here to be lovesick, broke and drifting, writing heartache songs and singing about pain and misery and depression, with a few good times here and there.

I'm involved with Satanists and activities.

Hank Williams was playing rock-n-roll before rock-n-roll was.

We're kind of like the Kurt Cobain of country music in a way.

It's right there on my birth certificate, 'Shelton Hank Williams III.' It's not fake.

I was always a Pink Floyd fan, and I was always into movie soundtracks.

Politics and music should only mix to a point. Me, I think my job as a musician is to make people try to forget about all that.

There's a lot of different moods that come across in my shows. Even when I'm playing a slow waltz song, sometimes there's crowd-surfing. Most of the time there's a mosh pit.

The only person out there worthy of mixing political views and music is Jello Biafra.
