Actually I never did stand up. I'm not that funny.

People get upset and it becomes an excuse to treat other people a certain way,but if you really step back, you realize what you've left behind.

Everything revolves around the music when it comes to Tool.

I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes.

A lot of people into Tool, for some reason, are not interested in humor.

I think that every collective that you witness occurring on a stage, it's not about any one of the individuals. There's something that's happened that's kind of put all that stuff together into a much bigger result ... some alchemy.

Choices always were a problem for you. What you need is someone strong to guide you. Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, what you need is someone strong to use you - like me.
