Do you serve a purpose, or purposely serve?

Slipknot is the darkness; Stone Sour is the light. Slipknot is chaos; Stone Sour is structure.

I still harbor lingering doubts about most people. I guess I always will.

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.

Show me on the doll where Fun is a rock band.

The people I respect the least are the ones that take themselves way too seriously.

I left Stone Sour in '97 because, by that time, we'd been together for about five years and I was kind of getting to the point where I wanted to do something different. I loved the music that we did and I loved the guys that I was with, but I was 24 and just felt like I needed to go and try something different so I didn't get stuck where I was, you know, just doing the same thing. And, coincidentally, that's when Slipknot came and asked me to join. I'd never done anything like Slipknot up until then, so I was like, "Okay, we'll try this and we'll see what happens." And it worked out.
