I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.

Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive even the smallest task in music is so absorbing and carries us so far away from town country earth and all worldly things that it is truly a blessed gift of God.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

Everything revolves around the music when it comes to Tool.

As a rule my focus is on classical music but I love jazz. I love everything actually.

Everything we release with Tool is inspired by our music.

I dabbled in things like Howlin' Wolf Cream and Led Zeppelin but when I heard Son House and Robert Johnson it blew my mind. It was something I'd been missing my whole life. That music made me discard everything else and just get down to the soul and honesty of the blues.

I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet but something's going wrong.

I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.

I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly but music-everything is based on music. No I'll never stop my music.
