call prepared quite whatever
You're never quite prepared for the inundation of stardom, or whatever you want to call it.
albums huge roll
'Rock n' Roll Animal,' the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.
mold sign typical
It's typical of record companies. They sign you because you're unique, and then they want to put you in a mold so they can sell records.
In Ministry, we've only had one message: Think for yourself.
accused credited music
If I did all the stuff I've been accused of - or credited with - there's no way I could make all this music. I'd be drinking myself into the grave.
biggest fan games since
I'm the biggest Blackhawks fan ever. I've been going to games since I was 6 years old.
apply best bunch
I'm getting a bunch more face tattoos, because it doesn't look like I'm ever going to have to apply to a Walmart or Best Buy.
blues collection home industrial ipod music strictly
I'm done with industrial. Seriously, my iPod collection at home has no industrial music on it; it's strictly jazz, blues and country.
I never read comic books as a kid.
bands hang rid
I hate bands that hang around, like, 10 years too long - they're like the drunk at a party you can't get rid of.
along cool good great
I get along great with all of my exes. That's really cool. That's a good sign.
I don't think I've ever done anything professionally.
people stopped time
I can't control what people think of me, and I stopped really caring a long time ago.
Being on stage is not creating, it's re-creating.
