I want you to understand something: I am loving father who would do anything for his kids, whether they are mine or belonging to others in my family.

Playing live is a lost art, and you don't see a lot of bands that go out and play the way the older bands do. It's a celebration, and a lot of people treat it like a commercial or a distraction.

We are defined by our dignity to rise above debasement. We are certainly better people for doing so.

I will always make music with Stone Sour. Stone Sour will always be here.

Our proximity keeps us honest. Our intentions keep us strangers.

The goat, for us, is an image that's stuck in our heads since we were kids, coming from Iowa people are like 'Beware the horned goat of satan!' and all that. It's bullshit. It's just an animal.

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.
