Hank Williams' music - it just doesn't go away, for some reason.

I'm running my life according to what I know to be true from the Bible and the old scribes.

I used to be just a total jazz freak. People used to say, 'Where's the melody? Is there a melody in there anywhere?' Now I let the music follow the song.

They could never put me in a slot. They couldn't say Glen was 'country,' 'pop' or 'rock.' I'm crock, OK? A cross between country and rock. Call me crock.

Picking a guitar was a lot easier than picking cotton.

If we grew it, we ate it. If Daddy shot it, Mamma cooked it.

'True Grit' was fun to do, but I wasn't cut out to be an actor. I made John Wayne look so good, he won his only Oscar.

I learned it was crucial to play right on the edge of the beat... It makes you drive the song more. You're ahead of the beat, but you're not.

I'd have to pick cotton for a year to make what I'd make in a week in L.A.

Elvis was a great singer. He really was.

With the TV shows, you get eight zillion people watching you. I was really surprised at the way everything went. I knew television was powerful, but that was just... wow.

Roger Miller opened a lot of people's eyes to the possibilities of country music, and it's making more impact now because it's earthy material: stories and things that happen to everyday people. I call it 'people music.'

Frankly, it is very hard to remember things from the 1970s.

Perhaps I've found the secret for an unhappy private life. Every three years, I go and marry a girl who doesn't love me, and then she proceeds to take all my money.

I can think of only two or three songs out of hundreds I've recorded that I performed as originally written. I like to become intimate with the material and change it to suit me.

I've always been forgetful.

I play guitar, and it's not a prop.

I'm from so far back in the sticks that they had to pump the light in there.

I saw my first indoor bathroom when I was 9.

I've been every way there is to be.

I'm not an actor, really. I can play myself pretty well.

Diet is really important, and I think vitamins are really important, also.

To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest.

Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.

I like to stay busy. I am a workaholic, and I like to be creative.

However you feel about Dimebag, this is one of the most influential metal guitar players of the '90s. I was just talking to someone that I am hiring to bring on the tour who said that, when he was at the funeral, that Eddie Van Halen came and put his striped guitar in the coffin. That's a pretty big deal.

No trick or treaters came to my house for Halloween. For some reason, people around here are scared of me.

I don't follow trends. I just do what I like doing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We've had a lot of agencies try and sabotage our tour.

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.

When your car rattles when you drive, you know you are playing cool music.

Anyone who knows me or my past knows that I never walk away from a fight.

For me, it shouldn't just be a live show: it should be an experience. It should be some kind of crazy, tribal, exhausting experience.

I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.

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?'

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 was bringing my attitude as a regular person 'cause this is my attitude.

Whether or not the devil is really good or evil is something that we don't really know.

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.

I'm a workaholic, and so I've always got to be doing stuff.

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.

Back in the days, we had to work with a shoestring budget. We had a movie screen, and we'd show movie trailers on them, and then we'd rip through it and started playing. Now we have a little money to play with to do a cool stage set.

What irritates me are bands that pretend they've never heard of the Misfits or Danzig, but they've got the skeleton shirt.

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.

We're doing Circle of Snakes, we open up with Skin Carver and we are throwing in Skull Forest later on.
