I like to stay busy. I am a workaholic, and I like to be creative.
Glenn Danzig
Diet is really important, and I think vitamins are really important, also.
Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.
It's annoying when someone's in front of you driving ten miles an hour, and you're like, 'Okay, today,' and someone else is on the side of you, so you can't pass them, and when you finally do pass them and they are texting, the laser cannons just come out and disintegrate that car.
My view on Democrats is that they're fascists disguised as liberals, or liberal moderates. You're not allowed to say anything they don't agree with. You're not allowed to do anything.
I hadn't done a photo cover in a while, and I decided to do a take on the 'Pin Ups' cover, but do it in skull face and have the girl in skull face. People seem to dig it.
I try to work out, but a lot of hotels don't have gyms anymore, so I always try to find a local gym where there's not a ton of 'roid-heads, 'cause I can't stand them. It's tough.
To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest.
I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.
We've had a lot of agencies try and sabotage our tour.
America was founded on satanism.
Anyone who knows me or my past knows that I never walk away from a fight.
My image is dark and sombre. It fits my personality. The problem I always had with the people in the Misfits was that it was a put-on. You wouldn't see those guys walking around like that.
I always want to do - take everything and take it to the next step. I don't want to just keep doing something the same ol' thing. Obviously, I could have wrote 'Mother' 20 times and made tons of money and be playing gigantic arenas and whatever, but that's not really what I want to do.
When your car rattles when you drive, you know you are playing cool music.
I'm a workaholic, and so I've always got to be doing stuff.
So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what's going to happen.
No trick or treaters came to my house for Halloween. For some reason, people around here are scared of me.
I don't really go to the beach.
I don't follow trends. I just do what I like doing.
I don't know that I'm not normal, because usually, when I tell people the things I do, either their jaw drops or they look at me shocked, but I'm sure I do normal things - everyone eats, that kind of stuff.
Some of the best sing-along stuff you'll ever hear is Gary Glitter.
When I started Samhain, I remember a producer telling me that I had a real band now.
Whether or not the devil is really good or evil is something that we don't really know.
It's what's missing, I think, from most music - the rebellious part. That rebelliousness is part of great rock music or great literature or any great creative stuff.
I don't think anyone in my family was funny.
The Democratic party has gone so far to the left that people just can't relate to it anymore and the Republican party is trying to go totally to the right.
I had a situation where Bill Clinton sent the F.B.I. after me.
I don't see any holy wars being fought in the name of Satan.
I don't even listen to music on the road, and if I did, it would be classical or whatever, something to chill me out.
In Japan, they have TV sets in cars right now, where you can punch up traffic routes, weather, everything! You can get Internet access already in cars in Japan, so within the next 2 to 3 years it's gonna be so crazy!
Whether I'm doing music or I'm walking down the street or I'm in a record store buying a record or I walk into a comic store and I'm buying comics or having a drink with my friends, it's the same me.
When I grew up as a kid, a part of my life - I grew up in Boston near Revere Beach, at my grandma's, and she would take me to the beach.
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.
I like albums. I like holding them, seeing what they're all about, you know? I like reading liner notes. Even if it's a CD, you're getting kind of an idea of what the band is coming from. Or what they want you to think they're coming from. I like that.
We're doing Circle of Snakes, we open up with Skin Carver and we are throwing in Skull Forest later on.
I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more down the middle and more rational, can't side with. I think that's been the problem.
So many big magazines just dissed the whole punk thing as nothing, but really, it was a big thing. It really changed, and that's what we wanted to do - change the system.
On Sirius, I can find anything I want. They have about four or five different metal channels, rock channels; there's a whole Elvis channel.
I love the energy, and I just love watching people lose their minds and be happy and exhilarated. There is nothing like it.
It's not like that anymore really, but back in the day, nobody would let the Misfits open up for them, not the Ramones, not the Cramps, nobody.
Sometimes on a tour bus, we watch comedy when it's slow.
My opinion of covers is that unless you're going to change and take a cover in a new direction, it's gonna get put up against the old one, and you're gonna lose. It's like, which would you rather listen to? The Righteous Brothers' 'Loving Feeling' or Hall and Oates' 'Loving Feeling?'
If you're a music fan, you think these artists will be here forever, but you should enjoy them while they're here, because you never know what will happen.
I don't think any punk bands really ever got their due.
If there's going to be another Misfits record, I'd probably have to write the stuff.
Comics are a dying art. If you ask a little kid to choose between a video game with insane graphics or comic books... you have to compete with cable, satellite TV with its thousands of channels, and with video games that are like movies, with CGI explosions where you can blow up worlds.
I've seen a bunch of the 'Portlandia' episodes, and they're pretty hilarious.
It really annoys me when the light turns green, and you're behind somebody, and they're just sitting there looking at the light for about 15, 20 seconds.
If you're working with a producer like Rick Rubin or whatever, you sing each line probably 30 different ways. Each time, they're like, 'Can you try it this way? Can you try it that way?' That's each line in the song, for each song.
