The West coast money and the East coast money, in an ever-increasing manner, is finding its way to Chicago.
A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
As far commercial success, I don't think that's a focus but it's not that we don't enjoy that. It's not something you can attempt and achieve.
I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others.
We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.
The success that Pantera had, I could have never, ever forecasted or predicted, and I always felt a responsibility to try to pay even a bit of it forward.
People have always thought that I wasn't ambitious. They judged by appearances and were fooled. I was competitive. I wanted success and was willing to work for it.
I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.
I've always been anti-marriage for men until they become mature. As a species we don't mature until we're in our 60s.
Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men.
I had a patient once who dreamed she kept her husband in the deep freeze except for mating. Lots of men feel that way.
I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.
We were five heterosexual, good-looking men. We competed against each other for the sexiest girls... I won.
I am fed up with men who use sex like a sleeping pill.
It's not just about waking up and trying to be a star... It's practice, practice, practice.
I know what I'm missing. I know what I have to work on. Coloratura. And I sing sharp sometimes. It happens when I'm nervous.
I believe that anyone can be what they want to be; it just comes down to hard work.
If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.
Surround yourself with people you can always learn something from. Always work with people that are better at their craft than you are.
Death is only frightening from the near side.
Society gets by from the help of its citizens.
