I want to bring art into everything.
My oldest boy, when I do skip, he's gonna take over my slot. He was sitting on the stair in diapers wearing my mask with sticks while we were downstairs trying to learn how to be a band.
Health is the most important thing you have on this planet if you're gonna have a successful life.
What the world needs to know is that it's okay to need help.
I may have won the only important lotto ever, which is life, but I am still going to die. We all are.
I decided that every year on my birthday, I'm going to release a new clown mask.
I'm a pretty aggressive person, and I'm very saturated.
It's very important every day that I get up and breathe, and I can say the word 'Slipknot,' and I still have friends that I do it with.
I love music, and I can't imagine life without music.
I've been fortunate to have been in Paris a dozen times, where I've gone to the Louvre. I'm very big on Impressionistic paintings.
I still live in Des Moines.
The people who you think are the most solid are often the most hurt.
A lot of us in Slipknot, we get to go to wounded soldier hospitals where soldiers have lost their limbs. That's surreal. It's even more surreal to talk to them about your band. They're talking to you about war and losing their limbs, and at same time, they're talking about their favorite album, these kind of things.
To the general public, just remember the people around you. You might not know what they're thinking, so it's always nice to be checked in on and to check in on people.
I don't wanna work with people who only want to make money.
I'm not gonna be like, 'Farewell tour!' then come back. Never say those words to fans - you have to come back if you say that.
Corey Taylor won't be mad at me saying, but I didn't think there'd be other bands. I thought we'd wear masks forever.
I jumped off my lift, smashed my knee pretty good - my meniscus and everything. So I had to have surgery.
The masks were more of a representation of what you wanted to present as yourself.
The one thing that has always been there for me is music. Before I met my wife, there was music. If my wife were to pass or something, there would be music to help me through that.
