Lyrics are always the last thing to get done.
-
We were not a close family, but that doesn't matter.
-
When we started writing this kind of music in the beginning, I didn't think that many people would listen to it, but over the years our fan base just kept growing and growing. Now, it's like we do it for us and our fans.
-
When I do interviews, I enter them with an open mind and try to answer the questions the best I can.
-
Venom was a band that strongly influenced the image and the idea behind Slayer.
-
I would have to work on the song and figure out how they wanted the song done, because they're such high-intensity songs. We figure that out first, then I go back and listen to it and go over and rehearse stuff with it and try to get a feel for the words.
-
If I'm ever feeling uninspired, all I have to do is go see Exodus or Arch Enemy, and think 'Oh yeah, that's what we're doing this for.'
-
Venom were the first thrash band i heard on record-it really pushed me to the best!
-
It's a new perspective where I got a role in and they are just spewed out of my mouth.
-
From the heaviest of the heavy to classical to country, that's what I listen to, I listen to a variety and I enjoy good music, good songs.
-
I write, I write, I always write.

Even though there's these songs and whoever the hell put it in the internet, if there's any good riffs in them, we raped the songs and put in the new ones.
-
My strangest media moment a photo session they all had dressed up like 50 gangsters. That was pretty cool. We have to get some more of those kind of photos sometimes.
-
People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a SLAYER song.
-
Sometimes when I've gone out and murdered somebody I go and confess and stuff. And then God loves me again.
-
I just don't write musically, but lyrically, yeah I write.
-
I am not an atheist; I believe in God. But my religion ends there. I have my own personal belief system that is so strong it allows me to do what I do. I dont have to worry about going to Hell because of Slayer, you know? Everyone has a personal belief system and believes in life somehow.
-
We ended up with an effective sentence of 5 1/2 years, so that's pretty close. I would be hard pressed to be upset over a question of six months.
-
As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.
-
Best Buy. I heard recently they are downsizing and I got sad! I remember when Circuit City was around, I never understood why people would shop there. I always thought Best Buy had a better selection and cheaper prices.
-
In the crazy world of touring, if something gets stuck at customs, I can do a show with just my amp!
-
Whatever had been on the radio in the '60s; I mean we were always listening to the radio.
-
Hate heals, you should try it sometime.

I play loud onstage for my own benefit as I like. But I'm not too fond of the P.A. either.
