I'm a very lucky guy. I get to write music that I love, and lo and behold, people seem to really like it. I know how fortunate I am. Corey Taylor beholdfortunateguy Change image and share on social
I think people are tired of fake music, man. And there's a lot of it. Technology has reached the point where any boob can walk into a studio and with a little AutoTuning you can have a hit song. I think it's pathetic. Corey Taylor autotuningboobfake share on social
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. Corey Taylor buddyfeelhave share on social
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. Corey Taylor comfortablefamiliargood share on social
I'm kind of lucky in the fact that I can take something that's in my head and write it down, or I can listen to a piece of music that somebody else has written and try to tap into what the music's saying and just kind of follow that, you know. I mean, nine times out of 10, I'm just kind of following where the music takes me. Corey Taylor factfollowhead share on social
I'm such a horror geek, comic geek and action figure geek. I'm inspired by so much - from Hunter S. Thompson and Quentin Tarantino to 'The Dark Knight' and 'Halloween'. Just show me something that doesn't suck, and I'm happy. Corey Taylor actioncomicdark share on social
I've still got the same friends that I grew up with, I still go to the same places that I used to go to when I was younger, and it's just a very special place to me. I'm still very proud to call Iowa home. Corey Taylor callfriendgrow share on social

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. Corey Taylor breakgaingrind Change image and share on social
I've always gravitated towards those ultimate lines in songs, the line you grab on to. That line in 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' 'Here we are now/Entertain us' - the irony, the antagonism; that's always stuck with me. Corey Taylor antagonismentertaingrab share on social
