I've known what it's like to survive without a steady job. Growing up in the Philippines, I watched my parents juggle part-time jobs at the corner shop and as tailors, barely able to make ends meet for my three brothers and me.

The Journey guys were so warm and friendly. I'm learning a lot from them.

I try to avoid gaining weight as much as possible because it hinders my performance onstage. Touring demands so much energy.

I have a foundation where it caters to street children and entices them to go back to school. The street is not a good school for them. They need to go to a proper school.

I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.

One of the things that was most shocking to me about starting to work in the funeral industry is just how industrial the environment is.

The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.

Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.
