Nothing in life is free, you always pay in the end.

Here's the way Static-X has always worked: I write all the songs by myself - totally and completely by myself - I give demos to the other guys, and then they add their parts to it, and then we argue about stuff and compromise and it turns out being Static-X.

Rob Zombie was White Zombie and I was Static-X. I wrote and produced everything.

Pretty much every other question I get from fans is about my hair and beard.

I hate it when bands keep making the same record over and over, so we're pushing ourselves to try new things and experiment in our writing approach.

You gotta give props to Ozzy as the creator of all evil faces. What would we do in photo sessions if it were not for Ozzy?

We had an incident back in 2001 where our drummer threw out a drumstick into the crowd and it hit someone in the eye and they were going to sue us. You just always have to be really careful with that kind of stuff.

Chromamatic' is actually about changing the strings on my guitar and tuning my guitar.

I had a dream I was onstage naked and I forgot how to play the songs.

I listen to classic rock for the most part.

I can play whatever I want and play whatever the fans want to hear. I don't have to be like a salesperson up there talking about my CD through the whole show.

The studio can be quite tedious.

For many records, everyone was like, 'Oh, this next record is going to be their last, blah, blah, blah.' But here we are on our sixth full-length studio album and we debut at No. 16. It's obvious we're not going anywhere.

I actually re-signed with Warner Bros. on my own. They've been really good to us and all the people over there are great; they love me and I love them. So I'm just sticking with them.

I developed a really bad hernia. I had to cancel the tour and go have surgery.

It's just been really hard, 'cause I had a really hard year in 2012 where I had to have triple hernia surgery, and I was out of commission for a year; I couldn't walk, I couldn't sing, I couldn't do anything with work. So it was kind of a rough year.

Obviously we're not Kiss, but we go out there and jump around like idiots and try to have a good time and entertain people.

Even in those early years of Static-X, there was a pattern emerging where I would spend all my free time writing songs for Static-X and the other guys in the band spent their free time working on their other projects.

We became one of those bands that could be around forever like Slayer. We can go on as long as we want to, as long as we have fun.

I'm sure I acted differently after I got married, I know I did. But... people get married and things change. It doesn't mean that the band has to break up.
