If I wasn't bound to Brooklyn, due to my own personal reasons like taking care of my mother and the fact that this is where the band is based, I would probably move to Iceland.

I find that different types of music are good for certain activities.

I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.

I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.

So I don't cry anymore, I just beat people up. It's a lot more fun.

I don't really like to play live. I don't like to be on stage. I feel very self-conscious.

I used to try to run five miles every other day, which I worked up to and I was doing it, but I was subjected to my own thoughts for forty minutes without any sensory input, and I couldn't stand what I thought.

It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me.

I want to stay away from politics, or else I'll probably end up putting my size fifteen foot into my mouth.

If they weren't laughing with me, okay; if they want to laugh at me it's better than nothing.

I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death.

I guess I've learned that there's really no such thing as a bad label, there is only a bad contract.

Most bands don't even last fourteen months let alone fourteen years.

Yes, there are times when I get extremely depressed and how I sublimate those feelings is through music.

It's bad poetry executed by people that can't sing. That's my definition of Rap.

There's a lot of things that go on when you're on tour that cannot be controlled. I'm not even talking about myself, but of course there's sexual activity and drugs, fighting and language; it is certainly not a place to raise a family.

I feel that I've grown up a little bit and I'm actually ready to settle down.

I've been told by people that it's okay to cry but, you know what, it's been used against me.

I also like to eat very much, so I like all different types of foods.

I don't know what to say to that, but I have to agree with Johnny that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment.

Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.

Finding fresh song topics can sometimes be quite difficult.

One of the things I've always personally tried to stress with this band was to have some kind of visual aspect and to be consistent with it - like, not to change.

I'm a big fan of the effects of alcohol.

I think aerobics are great, of course, but it just bores me out of my mind.

I drink for the effect, because it loosens up the tongue a little bit.

Technically, at this point we're no longer with the label; we've fulfilled our contract.

I think anyone who has an opinion, and voices it, will offend someone.

Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.

As far as humor goes, I've always been a very insecure person and I've always wanted to be liked.

Sometimes, I write '60s or '80s style pop songs.

So, I simply switched over to wine because it was not carbonated.

I think I've changed a lot as a person.

If I wasn't bound to Brooklyn, due to my own personal reasons like taking care of my mother and the fact that this is where the band is based, I would probably move to Iceland.

I don't believe in, and I am a devout non-believer, in playing new songs live if the subjected and pathetic crowd has not heard them before because I consider it like mass psychosis and genocidal.

I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race.

I just like being a social experiment sometimes. I really should not be allowed in public. But I just go out into the public just to see people's reaction.

I just like being a social experiment sometimes. I really should not be allowed in public. But I just go out into the public just to see people's reaction. The thing is, I can do anything I want, virtually, within reason, just to see people's reaction.

I think all recent music sucks, and that includes Type O Negative.

I'm a 'specist.' I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race. I'm the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man.

I'm the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man. I crawled out of a swamp yesterday.

There are no atheists in foxholes, they say, and I was a foxhole atheist for a long time. But after going through a midlife crisis and having many things change very quickly, it made me realize my mortality. And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God.

I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.

Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about.

I enjoy about 1 out of 100 movies, it's about the same proportion to books published that I care to read.

There are a lot of people out there who think that I am their worst enemy, and I don't even care if these people exist.

As patients and consumers, we are better informed today about our health care than any previous generation.

I'm not the type of person who goes through all this effort for a movie, and then doesn't care if anybody sees it. I want them to see it, and I want them to see it on the big screen.

On January 1, 2006, Medicare will begin to offer a prescription drug benefit, and for the first time, it will place an emphasis on preventive care and early treatment of disease.
