"I think that the world needs a hero because there are no more rock stars, Axl [Rose] killed that. What the world needs is an enema, but there are to many assholes in the world to choose from to know where to put the hose, so a hero would be my second choice. It's kind of hard to find a rhyme for 'enema.'" (Mustaine, 2001) "This record was written in spite of all the people who tried to turn us into an alternative pop machine. Basically, no one was allowed into the studio, and if they did get in we tried not to let them influence us. Feed us, sure, but anything else, forget about it!" (Mustaine, 2001) "The World Needs a Hero is something of a musical antidote to Megadeth's last studio album, Risk. I think that the title was a warning that we were taking a 'risk' with the record. Only a daft punk would not have noticed that disclaimer. However, this record is nothing like Risk. Saying that could jinx, so let's just say the odds are increasing in our favor that this is a fans' record." (Mustaine, 2001)
