Obviously our children who have been playing with their computers since the age of five or six don't have quite the same brain as those who were brought up on wooden or metal toys whose brains are certainly atrophied by comparison.

I remember when metal was something you really had to search out and now I hear it on car commercials.

I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment which I hate to do but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.

Since graduation I have measured time in 4-by-5-inch pieces of paper four days on the left and three on the right. Every social engagement interview reading flight doctor's appointment birthday and dry-cleaning reminder has been handwritten between metal loops.

The attitude and capacity of the factory the old metal table and the new ideas of the wooden furniture quickly and naturally suggested the possibility of metal furniture.

That's what I love from metal and that's what I love from hip-hop. That's what I love from any music that's hard that's got an edge to it-The attitude in it.

I was looking for something a lot heavier yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal a different attitude.

It took me twenty years to get Steven Parrino's work. From the time I first saw his art in the mid-eighties I almost always dismissed it as mannered Romantic formulaic conceptualist-formalist heavy-metal boy-art abstraction.
