“Our label is very digital-friendly. We try to provide some free stuff to get interest in the band, but we have to pay our artists. They have to get paid.”

I like the collaborative effort of working with people.

There were dinosaur big bands, and that was great. Those were my influences.

Art is commenting on what’s going on around you in your life.

It started getting debilitating. I enjoy my music a lot better than my drugs.

He is making all of the white people scared only 3 out of 10 people really believe all the stuff that is being said by him.

It was the worst night of my life. George W. Bush was reelected, and then I knew

These idiots like Radiohead and Sharon Osbourne that are like, “Free Ozzfest!”, “Pay what you can for a record!”.

The label’s going great, because we’re not idiots. We’re not trying to sue everyone that downloads everything.

This rock thing got in the way of my teaching career.

Without intermediate artists, music is what “American Idol” decides is great or made by the very poor, because Sharon Osbourne’s made everything free.

The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it.

I’ve been given a second chance in life, and I don’t want to let a minute go by without enjoying it.

I just wanted to remind people that Ministry is actually a good rock band. We can do some party stuff, too.

His statement was, “We’re going to the same place, except you’re taking a taxi, and I’m driving my own car.” That’s me and Ian MacKaye’s relationship. I love him, he’s great.

Jello’s Biafra kind of like my weird, retarded uncle. He’s part of the family.

It’s all downloading. As a matter of fact, within five years, there will be no CDs.

We started with Denny Cordell, and he was a great record producer. He knew exactly how to take a band that knew absolutely nothing, and guide you without trying to tell you what to do.

I remember Glenn Miller coming to me once, before he had his own band, saying, How do you do it? How do you get started? It’s so difficult. I told him, I don’t know but whatever you do don’t stop. Just keep on going.

There is a constant battle between Cogsy and I as who’s the biggest psycho in the band

I was just a music lover who wondered what it would sound like if Otis Redding strapped on a guitar and played in a punk band. Thats it.

Even when I interviewed bands, it was about asking them about writing songs, so it was more for me than anybody else.

EVERY SINGLE DANCER, SINGER and BAND MEMBER is a BRILLIANT SOLO ARTIST

My band is the best band in the world, period. So, I insist on every song being better than it is on the record. So by the end of the tour, we have to be playing the song better than how it’s recorded.

We had cut ourselves free from the security of day-job life. The goals became primarily financial, at least for a while. That was the roughest time we had ever had as a band, because that was the first moment we realized that this was for real.
