people effort directors
I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people.
people stopped time
I can't control what people think of me, and I stopped really caring a long time ago.
amuse basically died forth god journalist keeps people theory
There was one theory put forth by a journalist recently. I have a lot of friends that have died prematurely and a lot of friends that have died of natural causes. I've lost a lot of people over the years. This journalist basically recommended to me that God keeps me around because I amuse him.
absolutely barbados clean drinking might obama olympic people roads structures system turkey
Obama might as well be president of Turkey or Brazil; it does not matter. It's the system that is absolutely flawed, where 25 or 35 or 50 people make multi, multi-billions on building Olympic structures while people live in Barbados and have no roads or clean drinking water. There's something pretty inequitable there.
hear ministry people project side society song
Let's get with it, guys: You don't need to hear a Ministry song to get political. You should be political on your own. We're just a side project to society. So do I care what people think about me personally? No. I just do what I do.
envious people
I'm envious of people that can handle the press. No matter what I say or how articulately I say it, it always comes back to the same issues. And it's getting kind of old.
future interested ministry people records
I don't want people buying my records for this summer's hit. I want people buying them because they're interested in what Ministry will have to say in the future.
fair malicious party people periods smoke stories tattoos wild
I'm not a malicious person. When you get past the tattoos and leather, I give people a fair shake. There are periods when I've sowed some wild oats, no doubt about it. And I can party with some of the heavyweights. There are some stories about me that, yeah, where there's smoke there's fire. But sometimes the smoke is just smoke.
teaching rocks careers
This rock thing got in the way of my teaching career.
second-chance kicking want
It certainly is gravy every day above ground right now, after kicking that heroin habit. I've been given a second chance in life, and I don't want to let a minute go by without enjoying it.
night clubs arena
I'd still prefer to do five nights at a club than one night at Allstate Arena.
lessons shapes pay
Everything shapes you to be the person you are today. Sometimes hard lessons pay off dividends.
ukulele sick drug
Everyone reaches their point in time where either they die or they get sick of doing drugs. It started getting debilitating. I enjoy my music a lot better than my drugs.
live-life reality paris
I've never seen the Osbournes, I've never seen Paris Hilton. I'd rather read than watch reality TV. I'd rather live life than watch somebody else living it.
