QUOTES BY Mike Patton


If I was in a bad mood, then maybe I won't talk about it, but you're going to know about it somehow. If something was bothering me, maybe I would have acted a little bit like a child, meaning I go break something in a room.

We're constantly being fed images and being told what to like and what is good, and for the most part, I think people enjoy living that way. It takes a lot of the thinking out of it.

Most solo artists go out on their own and put their name on the record. I prefer to create little alternative universes.

I know where my bread is buttered, and for the most part, I'm better off doing my own thing.

More traditional guitar, bass, drums - it's not something completely natural to me. It's, in a way, exotic.

All time faves would be 'Smash TV,' 'NHL Hockey,' 'Grand Theft Autos,' 'NBA Lives,' 'Sonic.'

I've got a comfortable home for my music where I can put out whatever the hell I want, and I feel like the slate is really clean, and I can get away with anything. It's a nice, free feeling.

There's a danger in anything that is unfamiliar. That's the world we live in.

A lot of concerts are just too safe.
