Life isn't pretty but it sure is beautiful.

What I see in a lot of music movies, or rock 'n' roll movies, that feature a band is that they're lip-synching.

There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.

We do have American Idiot picked up by HBO and I wrote the record and concept to it. [We have] the writer Rolin Jones and [director] Michael Mayer [who also directed the Broadway production], so we'll see what happens.

To do something that you feel in your heart that's great, you need to make a lot of mistakes. Anything that's successful is a series of mistakes.

There's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.

Slipknot sounds like Tre choking on a hairball.
