come-up dare my-own
Nobody can dare me to do anything that I don't come up with on my own.
people way
The people I respect the least are the ones that take themselves way too seriously.
taken want checks
If you want to be taken seriously, always check your fly.
people hunters influence
People such as Hunter S. Thompson and the Beats were a huge influence on me, not just in what they were saying, but how they said it.
want stones band
As much as I love Slipknot, I don't want that to carry over into what I do for Stone Sour. I want both bands to stand on their own.
feelings listening albums
I don't feel guilty about the music I love. If you feel guilty about something you dig, then you should stop feeling guilty about it. One of my favorite albums to this day is the 10th anniversary ensemble cast of 'Les Miserables,' the ultimate cast recording, and it is still something I love listening to top to bottom.
dream people trying
Too many people chase dreams that they don't understand. Too many people try to go for things that they'd like to do, but they're not realistic enough to know they don't have the talent.
metal-fans long personality
The weird thing about metal fans is we're all so maladjusted in a lot of ways. We're individualistic and opinionated and severe in our personalities - sometimes we really turn each other off. A little bit of a metal fan goes a long way.
superhero my-favorite all-time
Everyone knows Spiderman is my favorite superhero of all time. My favorite supervillain? George W. Bush.
growing-up childhood way
I didn't have the worst childhood, but I didn't have the best, and when you grow up like that, you have certain limitations invariably stuck inside you. Slipknot was a way to work it out.
memorable talking ideas
Popular thought appeals to crowds, gatherings and tribes, who use it as a way to guide the herd. It is very evident in protests - sometimes the very people doing the protesting have NO IDEA what they are talking about.
stones kind sour
But I always kind of knew in the back of my head that I could come back and do Stone Sour.
reading laughing people
The fact that the public are mesmerised by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and all these miserable people makes me laugh because those celebrities are more miserable than the people reading about them for escapism.
years firsts sober
The first year I was sober was probably the worst year of my life. My immune system was screwed. I completely isolated myself. I was weak all the time. I didn't know who I was.
