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 see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes.
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.
Everything revolves around the music when it comes to Tool.
A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end - and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral.
Music is about listening, the more you play, the more the magic spreads.
People have to follow their hearts, and if their hearts lead them to Wal-Mart, so be it.
