Personal Quotes

I'm just sittin' here trying not to be unhappy.

What's the message in Metallica? There is no message, but if there was a message, it really should be look within yourself, don't listen to me, don't listen to James, don't listen to anybody, look within yourself for the answers.

Our music comes from our hearts - and it always has.

We got to thank Jethro Tull for not putting out an album this year. (after Metallica won a 1992 Grammy award for "Best Metal Performance", an honor which they lost to Jethro Tull in 1989).

I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I was disappointed. Human nature is that you'd rather win than lose, but Jethro Tull walking away with it makes a huge mockery of the intentions of the event. [on Metallica's Grammy Award loss in 1989]
