"But if you want to be in a band and write music, then you should just be in a band and write music."

"I've never worried about how long the song is."

"Many of the songs on Undertow were written at the time Opiate came out."

"I haven't listened to much music lately; I've been out of it."

"I listen to Helmet - and I love Helmet, they're a great band - but every song sounds the same."

"That's the thing I like about my sound. It's real raw and very unsafe compared to a solid state kind of sound."

"I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don't understand."

"I've always dabbled on guitar, but never took lessons."

"Different people get different things out of the images. It doesn't matter what it's about, all that matters is how it makes you feel."

"We wanted to take as much time and effort making the video as we did the song."

"I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom."

"We have meetings with our record label to tell them how to market us."

"We could have gone with much bigger labels and more money, but we wanted to go with a company that is LA based, all in the same building, and really understands what the artists want."

"I think people like Steve Vai are so boring."

"I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other."

"I personally don't like to use as many effects because when you play live, something always goes wrong."

"I have a record company starting. It's called Flesh Records and I'm putting together music for porno movies."

"That's what I love about our music - it'll never be a hit because you can't dance to it."

"I'm a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we've been in many bands."

"When we played with the Rollins Band, we'd keep songs going until we felt like ending it."

"My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs."

"If I play anything that sounds like a solo, it's gonna sound like a lyric."

"If you become addicted and a junkie, well, that's your fault."

"I'm not a good guitar player."

"All the art for Tool is done by the me and the band."

"With four perfectionists in the band, we have a hard time reaching perfection."
