You tell me one other person that graduated from Yale that is as inarticulate as Bush. Yale’s a great school, and here’s this idiot. – Al Jourgensen
Today, if I could get a job, with face tattoos, being a professor, I would do that. I don’t know what university would hire me, but that’s my passion. – Al Jourgensen
I’m done with industrial. Seriously, my iPod collection at home has no industrial music on it; it’s strictly jazz, blues and country. – Al Jourgensen
Everything shapes you to be the person you are today. Sometimes hard lessons pay off dividends. – Al Jourgensen
I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people. – Al Jourgensen
I think we were colonized by aliens 250,000 years ago, and they genetically altered our DNA to be primates into homo erectus and humans. I’m very interested in how we evolved so suddenly, which obviously ties in with the alien thing. – Al Jourgensen
Listen, man: I am not the industrial godfather, king, whatever. I don’t relish that title. I don’t like it. I think it’s limiting. I do country, I do blues. I don’t just go straight. – Al Jourgensen
If I did all the stuff I’ve been accused of – or credited with – there’s no way I could make all this music. I’d be drinking myself into the grave. – Al Jourgensen
The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it. – Al Jourgensen
We’ll see if we ever do another Ministry gig again or not. I’m not saying yes or no yet. All I’m saying is I know there’s no new Ministry studio CDs coming ever again. I promise. – Al Jourgensen
I’m a very firm believer in karma, and put it this way: I get a lot of good parking spots. – Al Jourgensen
Obama might as well be president of Turkey or Brazil; it does not matter. It’s the system that is absolutely flawed, where 25 or 35 or 50 people make multi, multi-billions on building Olympic structures while people live in Barbados and have no roads or clean drinking water. There’s something pretty inequitable there. – Al Jourgensen
