"I’ve never been one to post anything mean, degrading, or just weird. It’s not in my blood. These days, most people are super conscious about what they share, which is great. I’ve always tried to be positive on social media and my approach hasn’t changed. If I see someone having a bad day, I want to be there to let them know it’ll get better. There’s a lot of noise on social media, a lot of negativity, which sucks. I’ve never been able to understand or wrap my head around it, but then I have to remember there are good people, too. That’s how I see social media."

"I don’t know however how I’ll react when a bunch of maniacs take over my town, but I guess I will let you know!"

"Still I only feel alive when the view is flashing, alarms going off in my head... I want to grab you and just kiss you; maybe I should sit down. No sense in cashing us now. Yeah, I only feel alright when the view is flashing, bombs going off in my head... I want to grab you, want to scream at you, no icing me down. The party's crashing us now. The party's crashing us now."

"Meet me by the fishin' hole and wear your leather britches. Tell your ma and pa everything's all right. We're really goin' fishin' next Saturday night."

"Now, I'm Sick, Sober and Sorry Broke, disgusted and sad Sick, Sober and Sorry But look at the fun that I had."

"You're a little honey and you're quite a dish. Saturday night we're goin' fishin' to fish."

"It's a purging of sorts. Like, when you're all done doing your laundry and it's fresh and bright, but washing the clothes, you wouldn't want to get in while it's spinning around."

"Tool is not Slayer. I went to art school. I spent three years in the military. There's more to me than throwing devil horns."

"You really should be able to feel the higher power of music and be moved by it, rather than listening to me waffle on and having to explain it."

"I think there’s a reason why wine figures into so many religions. There’s something transcendent about it. It’s sort of the way that music is more than the sum of its parts. You have all these elements that make up the terroir that wine can communicate."

"You can grow grapes in almost any part of the world. You just have to develop your palate enough to realize wine is an expression of the place where you make it. You don't have to take over the world; just be an artist and express your area."

"For the music, it’s not about the individual — so the more you let the music speak for yourself, the more powerful the music will be."

"It’s in my blood. My great-grandfather made wine and it’s a tradition I want to pass on to my son."

"It's the role of us to run our government, the government by the people, for the people, and I don't think our government is listening to the people. It's our role as patriots to question them, because we elected them. And if they're not fairly and accurately representing us, it's the job of the people, the patriots, to take their country back."

"Every now and then, you get people who tend to forget what this country is about, which is a melting pot of races and cultures and freedom of speech."

"The army influences everything I do. Certainly it teaches you discipline, which is a necessary element of development. I think there's more of a collaborative understanding in the band because of that."

"The process that we go through in recording with Tool is very organic, but at the same time it is very thought out. There is a very left-brain process of dissecting what we're doing and drawing from source material; it's very research oriented and esoteric."

"One of my biggest heroes in music has been David Bowie. He's said, `I'm going to be a painter now, or I'm going to do some films,' and his audience is very forgiving, because they understand him as an artist. Whether you agree or like the result, you respect that he's expressing his artistic feelings."
