I like Bill Murray a real lot. I like Andy Kaufman.

I was watching TV once, and 'Jailhouse Rock' comes on, and I'm like, 'What is this?' I started watching it, and at the end, I thought, 'This is what I want to do. That's what I want to be. That's for me. That's it!'

My idea of covers is that you should never cover a song and do it exactly like the artist because everyone's always going to compare it to the way the original artists did it, and they're just going to go, 'Oh I like the original better.'

I don't think any punk bands really ever got their due.

Al Gore wanted to tell people what they could listen to and what they couldn't, what they could record. It was basically coming down to the idea that he wouldn't let anybody record any music that he didn't think you should be doing. There was going to be an organization that would tell you what you could and couldn't record.

When I started Samhain, I remember a producer telling me that I had a real band now.

Everyone thinks L.A. is the beach. And actually, Hollywood is really far from the beach.

You'd be surprised the type of people who are into metal when you see them. Sometimes I'm even surprised, but it's cool. That's the reason it's still around.

I just play music, you know what I mean? That's what I want to spend my time talking about.

I'm a big Fred Armisen fan.

Growing up, just singing in bands, I didn't have the same kind of voice as everyone else.

Although I have been pretty vocal about hating touring, the only part of touring I don't like is being on the bus and bouncing around.

While I am here, I want to maximize my time on this planet, you know.

David Bowie's death came out of the blue, as did Prince's.

People don't realize that they're being played by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but more so by the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party does not want another party in there.

It really annoys me when the light turns green, and you're behind somebody, and they're just sitting there looking at the light for about 15, 20 seconds.

I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more down the middle and more rational, can't side with. I think that's been the problem.

I like the original Metallica version they did on 'Garage Days' - 'Last Caress' and 'Green Hell.'

But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.

Yeah, now we publish whenever we feel like it.

Wars have always started over religion.

But the Danzig unreleased stuff will be either a single or a double CD.

Of course, I started really being a comics fan with the underground stuff in the '70s.

It seems like time slips out of your hands. You wake up, and 2-3 years have passed.
