I had a motorcycle accident, and I had my garage burn down with most of my vehicles. And I've had really bad relationships that I've been in and out of. They've left their mark.
I'm a fan of the 'Underworld' films, but I don't necessarily consider them horror.
I will always be a proud defender of the Jewish people and of the State of Israel.
Music is meant to cross boundaries.
The media continues to spin the State of Israel and Jews as war-mongering, evil people, which we are not.
I've been blessed with a platform and a voice, and I owe it to myself and my family and our people to use it responsibly.
I just wanted to do the things that all normal teenagers wanted to do. So I did become quite rebellious.
I have a real estate development company. I have investments in all sorts of things, and I dabble all over the place.
I'm still a businessman. But what I do for my primary living and what is my life is music, and that will never change.
Look, it makes sense to be able to take part of what you've earned in this life and have it grow. And I hope that other musicians out there that do have their moments of profit and of success are wise enough not to squander those profits and that success.
There are definitely confines within the style of Disturbed that we needed to stay true to, but we've always pushed that envelope. We always continued to develop with each successive record.
Ninety percent of the time, I'm a laid-back teddy-bear dude.
I hate all politicians equally.
I was never the guy who was going to try to use my social media to be a source of promotion for myself... It was always trying to use whatever kind of a voice in the position that I have been blessed with for good.
The Internet, sadly, has become a preying ground for trolls and just predators. And when you're in the position that I'm in, and you have a wife and a child who had just come into this world not too long ago, you start wondering whether or not that continued interaction and some of the threats and some of the nonsense are worth it.
The level of study that I was at, I was probably only about two or three years away from being ordained as a rabbi, so I really needed to figure out in my head where I wanted to go with things. And I just couldn't do it habitually anymore.
I'm incredibly defiant against neo-Nazis and skinheads.
The Device experience was amazing. I enjoyed working with everyone that I was blessed with the opportunity to work with, and you learn so much going outside of your normal world and outside your box, so to speak.
'Savior Of Nothing' calls out the would-be social justice warriors of the world who become so enveloped in fighting so passionately that they become exactly what they're trying to correct. They preach acceptance so much they become unaccepting.
It's impossible to utilize your right to free speech in the way you truly deserve and not suffer repercussions on any level.
