Corey Taylor is a surprisingly insightful person, here are some of his quotes that prove this
On mistakes and sins.
Mistakes you can learn from; sins stay with you forever.
On breaking new ground.
You don't break ground by doing the same thing over and over and over. That's like standing in place. You have to risk to gain it all.
People who take themselves too seriously.
The people I respect the least are the ones that take themselves way too seriously.
The smartest people.
Some of the smartest people I know are metal [music] fans.
Mesmerized by miserable people.
The fact that the public is mesmerized by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and all these miserable people makes me laugh because those celebrities are more miserable than the people reading about them for escapism.
Be the devil
I have ideas every day, and if I'm not carrying a pad of paper, I'm typing it into the notes thing on my iPhone, and it's just ridiculous - idle hands are the devil's plaything, and I can't be the devil's plaything. I got to be the devil; I got to be the guy making it all happen.
On his book 'Seven Deadly Sins'.
With 'Seven Deadly Sins,' there was a lot of personal stuff in there that I didn't even realize I'd been carrying around for a while. And a lot of guilt involved, a lot of emotion, a lot of depression. Once I was done writing that book, I was able to really let go of that stuff.
On a scary movie.
'The Blair Witch Project' is great for motion sickness. The first time you see it, it is extremely creepy. The first time I saw it, I saw it on a bootleg tape on a tour bus before it had even come out. It was one of the first movies I'd seen like that. I didn't even realize it was a damn movie!
Not taking himself too seriously.
I am the kind of guy who has never taken myself too seriously. I mean, I am very serious about what I do; I'm very serious about the creative process and everything, but at the end of the day, I am just another lucky geek who got to live out a dream, you know?
A novel bubbled inside him.
I feel like I've got a novel in me somewhere, but that's something... I was just talking to a buddy of mine about it, who's a writer as well, and he's nearly done with his first novel, and it's taken him 11, 12 years to do it. And I can totally understand; it's a long process.
Life away from this planet.
I do definitely believe that there is life away from this planet. I mean, we've kind of established that with the fact that we found bacteria on meteorites, and we've kind of used that to backtrack and show how this Earth, this planet, could have formed the ability to sustain life in the first place.
The devil you are familiar with.
So many people in the world would rather stay in a situation that's painful but familiar because they're comfortable with it. Not a lot of people have the strength or heart to realize when something's not good for them and to turn around and be alone.
When not feeling it.
I've had to really teach myself that when you're not feeling it, you shouldn't write anything down because you're going to end up coming back and re-writing it later. Whereas, if you write when you're feeling something when you're really in the streak, then that's when you're going to get your best stuff.
On strong songs.
A song is only as strong as its foundation, and when it comes so naturally in any setting, those are the songs that will hopefully outlive you, maybe even outlive the next generation of You.
