I wish I was a shredder that could play everything, but I don’t have the patience.

I’m thrilled I have the opportunity to do the ‘Spread’ show and have the terrific sponsors that we work with like Nikon or Verizon.

I’m either shooting nine grams of coke a day or spending two hours at the gym. There’s no middle ground.

I’ve done a lot of talk shows where you can tell that the host is just thinking about what he wants to say next while you’re answering him and that’s really uncomfortable.

For me, it doesn’t matter how difficult something is, it doesn’t matter how impressive it is, it’s what sounds best that really counts.

I’ve always been a fan of music where you can hear new things each time you listen.

And I’ve also come to the conclusion that, as far as guitar solos and things like that are concerned, it’s more important to complement the music rather than take away from it.

I’ve always recorded the same way. I put down as many ideas as I have, then strip them away at the mixdown. It’s better to have too much music than not enough.

As a viewer of television if there’s something I don’t like or find offensive, I just don’t watch it.

I’m as obsessive with health as I was with destruction.
