More quotes by Corey Taylor
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.
Corey Taylor
I have a really good idea for a novel and would like to just kind of try my hand at fiction. I'm starting to kind of get a really good body of work going from a literary standpoint. As long as the audience is there, man, I'll keep cranking them out.
Corey Taylor
Some of the smartest people I know are metal fans.
Corey Taylor
There's times when I'm cleaning the kitchen, and while I'm doing that, I'm singing and air guitaring with a broom to 'You Should Be Dancing.'
Corey Taylor
Before you tell yourself its a different scene remember its just different from what you've seen.

When I was a kid, I had THE biggest crush on Helen Reddy. I mean like for REAL crush - like 'spend some time in the bathroom thinking about her' crush. I blme Pete's Dragon. There she was - flushed, singing, clas in a tight wet plaid shirt. Judas Priest she was fabulous.

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.

Everyone knows Spiderman is my favorite superhero of all time. My favorite supervillain? George W. Bush.
Corey Taylor
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.
Corey Taylor
Live your life, no matter what that life is.
Corey Taylor
I don't know whether we will find ourselves in the cross hairs, pulled by the short hairs, or just trying to find the next inane hairstyle. But change is coming it is inevitable. It is as steady and reliable as a ticking clock.
Corey Taylor
I didn't have the worst childhood, but I didn't have the best, and when you grow up like that, you have certain limitations invariably stuck inside you. Slipknot was a way to work it out.
Corey Taylor
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.
Corey Taylor
I want you to understand something: I am loving father who would do anything for his kids, whether they are mine or belonging to others in my family.
Corey Taylor
She has BIG feet! Oh my god, have you seen Sandra Bullocks feet? They're like the size of rulers!
Corey Taylor
I still harbor lingering doubts about most people. I guess I always will.
Corey Taylor
I don't mean to be overly sensitive or anything like that, but you just have to take a minute in every day, and just reflect on where you are, and just realise what you've got, because you just never know where the next huge change in your life is going to come from.
Corey Taylor
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.
Corey Taylor
My biggest influences were 1980s punk and metal. Metallica were my biggest influence because they were good at everything - riffs, energy - but with such an ear for melody, it was hard not to get pulled into it and become a fanatic.
Corey Taylor
We are defined by our dignity to rise above debasement. We are certainly better people for doing so.
