The first year I was sober was probably the worst year of my life. My immune system was screwed. I completely isolated myself. I was weak all the time. I didn't know who I was.

More quotes by Corey Taylor
If everything is happy go-lucky all the time, you don't know when you're experiencing joy and feeling life at its finest moments. You have to suffer a little.
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
As iconic a band as Metallica has become, I think sometimes we forget just how raw they were in the beginning of their career, and to a 15-year-old kid like me, it was just shattering. I mean, it was beyond.
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
I want karma to drive stakes into the dark hearts that keep me bitter.
Corey Taylor
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.
Corey Taylor
You don't break ground by doing the same thing over and over and over. That's like standing in place. You have to risk to gain it all.
Corey Taylor
I didn't write my speech until the night before, and even then I refused to write it out like I would say it, preferring to keep cribbed notes I could come back to if necessary. I wanted this to feel like a conversation because it was what I wanted to say that mattered, not how it looked on paper.
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
Live your life, no matter what that life is.
Corey Taylor
Nobody can dare me to do anything that I don't come up with on my own.
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
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
RADIO IS DEAD. The once-bright star that was public broadcasting has been destroyed by greed and corproate muscle to the point that even the music that is completely repugnant is positioned to be popular.
Corey Taylor
I write almost all my songs on an acoustic guitar, even if they turn into rock songs, hard rock songs, metal songs, heavy metal songs, really heavy songs I love writing on an acoustic because I can hear what every string is doing the vibrations haven't been combined in a collision of distortion or effects yet.
Corey Taylor
As much as I love Slipknot, I don't want that to carry over into what I do for Stone Sour. I want both bands to stand on their own.
Corey Taylor
Show me on the doll where Fun is a rock band.
Corey Taylor
You have to get to the next level, or you're gonna get stuck where you are for the rest of your life.
Corey Taylor
You can make a thousand promises to yourself that you'll take that same fantastic love and give it to someone else, but the moment you see that person with someone else, it's like a gut full of razorblades. It never gets easier. And it shouldn't, really.
Corey Taylor
