Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?

Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much.

I'm always feeling like I don't belong, no matter where I am. So I'm just searching for a family nonstop, and sometimes I find it in the mosh pit, sometimes I find it when I'm doing some French TV show with the president's wife.

Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.

There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.
