James Hetfield

"Are you saying it's too loud? It's got to be loud. You're supposed to feel it all over."

"I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction."

"Lars would talk his way into their pants. Kirk had a babyface that was appealing to the girls. And Cliff; he had a big dick. Word got around about that, I guess."

"Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. for everyone."

"If I hadn't have had music in my life, it's quite possible I could be in here. Or nor even in here, be dead — and I'd much rather be alive."

"Everybody is born good and everybody has got the same size soul. We're here to connect with that."

"All the drinking and all the other junk that I was stuck in... It was so predictable. So boring. I wake up the next day - somewhere, in some bed, I don't know who this person is next to me... and I'm drunk, competely hung over and have a show to do. The result is the same... When life now is pretty... exciting. You don't know what's gonna happen."

"It had to be something real bad. I think he stole music online."

"Just try and downpick as much as he does and you'll quickly realize your puny skills stand no chance against James."
