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.
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.
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.
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.
