Life owes you nothing. You owe yourself everything.

I think of how and where all the horrible people I've come across in my life ended up, and I smile.

I've got to be honest, and I'm not just saying this because the majority of you reading this live there, but I love the United Kingdom. I just flat-out love it.

My biggest influences were 1980s punk and metal. Metallica were my biggest influence because they were good at everything - riffs, energy - but with such an ear for melody, it was hard not to get pulled into it and become a fanatic.

I'm the guy that gets up at three in the morning to jot down an entire sheet of lyrics for something that won't be recorded for six months. You have to get it down when you can, because thoughts are fluid.

I may never let go of my wrath, my anger, but I will always have the last laugh.

But I always kind of knew in the back of my head that I could come back and do Stone Sour.
