People are animals, man.

I still live in Des Moines.

I'll die on the stage, man.

We will never recreate 'Iowa.'

Slipknot started out of tragedy.

El Paso is the final Wild, Wild West city.

We want to push it. We feel we are the envelope.

I've been obsessed with death since I was a little kid.

I'm a pretty aggressive person, and I'm very saturated.

I won't even let anyone in my house. I'm a private person.

I wouldn't disrespect myself or my art with any imitations.

I don't wanna work with people who only want to make money.

No, there's other actor who could play The Clown in Slipknot.

I don't have time for heartache or problems, especially drama.

My wife loves elephants and compares me to a big bull elephant.

I can't predict the future, nor will I. I'm not a fortune teller.

The people who you think are the most solid are often the most hurt.

I forced myself to have a big family because I never had a big family.

I work really hard to portray things that you're not going to see at Walmart.

My art in my head just needs to come out for me - for my legacy and who I am.

I decided that every year on my birthday, I'm going to release a new clown mask.

You can have a wife - you can have a child or children - and be a rock n' roller.

You're either in music socially and culturally to get through life, or you're not.

The masks were more of a representation of what you wanted to present as yourself.

I'm pretty infamous for opening my garage and standing in the middle of it and sneering.

Paul just had a way about him that was different. I was really attracted to his writing.

I'm not a fan of the sound quality of our first album, because there's a noise in my head.

You can look for something that's equivalent to Slipknot, and you're going to fail miserably.

It's just upsetting how the world is - the need and the necessity to override the value of life.

The Backstreet Boys are easy; they're cream. And then here we are, this nine-piece metal militia.

I have a lot of self-hatred and a lot of self-anger and a lot of things that I need to let go of.

We help kids and fans of all ages find their social scenes. Find their place. Find their demeanor.

I've been working on the way my originality, my body, my face, my original form is perceived by me.

There is nothing perfect, no one can be perfect, and perfectionism is something you shouldn't chase.

I couldn't imagine being in Slipknot and not going to Peru or Argentina or Moscow or St. Petersburg.

No albums are better or worse than each other, and they're all important to our legacy and our story.

As the world grows and technology grows, it's getting harder to communicate and for kids to socialize.

I jumped off my lift, smashed my knee pretty good - my meniscus and everything. So I had to have surgery.

We, as a band, have never decided to go away. We've never even talked about it. It's not even a question.

If I haven't got someone to leave in five minutes for at least one of my films, then I'm not doing my job.

'American Psycho' is violent. 'Apocalypse Now' is violent. 'Officer Downe' is a comic and not violent to me.

I liked playing drums in the band, but the truth is, I always knew they were going to call Joey to play drums.

This world is ugly, and it's supposed to be, and it has to be in order for art to lead to grandness and beauty.

It's very strange for me to do a comic book for my first movie. But I used to collect - and I love - comic books.

I want to go to colleges and give seminars. I want to sit down with kids in classrooms and have them challenge me.

One thing we've always wanted to do is just do things our way, and we've always talked about having our own festival.

The goal every day of my life is to make some sort of artistic difference on a more profound level than just moshing.

I'm certainly interested in taking a photo with anyone who took time out of their busy schedule in life to say hello.

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 don't look at my work as being violent. 'Officer Downe' is more campy than anything. It's a comic book, so it's funny to me.
