The mind is left bereft when it is nothing more than a tool of regurgitation.

I've got to be honest, and I'm not just saying this because the majority of you reading this live there, but I love the United Kingdom. I just flat-out love it.

I am tired of the superficial smiles that adorn the many ghouls among us. I am tired of the righteous indignation that hides beneath those visages that feign our best interest and deign to think we cannot and will not stand for ourselves.

The best friends you will ever have are the ones who don't make you feel like you owe them a damn thing.

You can have the best intentions in the world but if you do nothing, you are nothing.

Everyone knows Spiderman is my favorite superhero of all time. My favorite supervillain? George W. Bush.

I've always gravitated towards those ultimate lines in songs, the line you grab on to. That line in 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' 'Here we are now/Entertain us' - the irony, the antagonism that's always stuck with me.

I still harbor lingering doubts about most people. I guess I always will.

If you are too overwhelmed, then when you sit down and try to write something, it feels forced. There's nothing worse than forced music. I mean, this world has enough of that right now, where it's basically McDonald's making music. 'Everybody needs another hamburger and fries.' Here's a piece of crap that nobody's gonna care about it two years.

I've still got the same friends that I grew up with, I still go to the same places that I used to go to when I was younger, and it's just a very special place to me. I'm still very proud to call Iowa home.

When I'm working on a Slipknot song, it's like a switch flips in my head. I can go there easily - it doesn't take a lot of soul searching - and it's a dark, almost sinister place. Stone Sour is more the way I've always written. It's a different tone.

So many people in the world would rather stay in a situation that's painful but familiar because they're comfortable with it. Not a lot of people have the strength or heart to realize when something's not good for them and to turn around and be alone.

The biggest difference between me and other artists out there is that they'll put anything out to sell a record or sell a ticket.

I want karma to drive stakes into the dark hearts that keep me bitter.

I'm a very lucky guy. I get to write music that I love, and lo and behold, people seem to really like it. I know how fortunate I am.
Corey Taylor

But I always kind of knew in the back of my head that I could come back and do Stone Sour.

You have to get to the next level, or you're gonna get stuck where you are for the rest of your life.

To me, it makes more sense to write different songs and to play different kinds of music and to find your own voice. But no matter what, get out and play for people. Get out and learn, and do everything that you can, you know?
