Comics are a dying art. If you ask a little kid to choose between a video game with insane graphics or comic books... you have to compete with cable, satellite TV with its thousands of channels, and with video games that are like movies, with CGI explosions where you can blow up worlds.

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.

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 follow trends. I just do what I like doing.

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

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.

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

Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.

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

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

I'm not an actor, really. I can play myself pretty well.

I've been every way there is to be.

I saw my first indoor bathroom when I was 9.

I'm from so far back in the sticks that they had to pump the light in there.

I play guitar, and it's not a prop.

I've always been forgetful.

I can think of only two or three songs out of hundreds I've recorded that I performed as originally written. I like to become intimate with the material and change it to suit me.

Perhaps I've found the secret for an unhappy private life. Every three years, I go and marry a girl who doesn't love me, and then she proceeds to take all my money.

Frankly, it is very hard to remember things from the 1970s.

Roger Miller opened a lot of people's eyes to the possibilities of country music, and it's making more impact now because it's earthy material: stories and things that happen to everyday people. I call it 'people music.'

With the TV shows, you get eight zillion people watching you. I was really surprised at the way everything went. I knew television was powerful, but that was just... wow.

Elvis was a great singer. He really was.

I'd have to pick cotton for a year to make what I'd make in a week in L.A.

I learned it was crucial to play right on the edge of the beat... It makes you drive the song more. You're ahead of the beat, but you're not.
