When I'm working on a Slipknot song, it's like a switch flips in my head. I can go there easily - it doesn't take a lot of soul searching - and it's a dark, almost sinister place. Stone Sour is more the way I've always written. It's a different tone.

It's one giant Bowflex commercial covered in booze vomit.

Nobody can dare me to do anything that I don't come up with on my own.

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

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

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

Bad things happen when good people pretend nothing is wrong.
