I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

I would hope they would be our fellow artists, rather than trying to emulate or idolize clowns like us.

A lot of people into Tool, for some reason, are not interested in humor.

If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets.

I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.

Music is about listening, the more you play, the more the magic spreads.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

We're five people, five individuals who came together to create something, to make music and to complete each other musically, to form a perfect circle.
