Everything we release with Tool is inspired by our music.

I would hope they would be our fellow artists, rather than trying to emulate or idolize clowns like us.

I feel like there's no real innovation in having some music. It's more just unique personalities and unique expressions, and you being able to tell your story.

But then it hasn't really been a focus of our government to make us an educated people.

I think the biggest problem working with me would be that I'm an only child, and so I have an internal dialogue that goes on that I just assume you can hear.

We're just four guys and we are enjoying what we're doing with Tool.

The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.
