I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.

Everything we release with Tool is inspired by our music.

I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.

Music is like a huge release of tension.

Please write music like Wagner only louder.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

I'm really proud of 'Moneyball.' To me it's about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I'm an old man I'll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That's all I can really go for: making movies to please me.

Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance tension and release.

I'm glad movies aren't going to please everybody they can't. But what they have to be is recognisable. I don't equate myself with a master painter but I think you can recognise my films.

I've been involved with violent movies and then I've also said at a certain point 'I can't take it anymore. Please cut it.' You know you've got to respect the filmmaker and it's a really tough issue.
