We’ve never really been susceptible to pressure from anyone from the outside. We’ve been really good at negating any outside influences. We’re really hard on ourselves.

I have a different relationship with Chucky because he’s been on top of my bookshelf in the corner of my living room for my entire life.

I saw this new thing called television, and I saw people throwing pies in each other’s faces, and I thought, ‘This could be a wonderful tool for education!

In an information society, education is no mere amenity; it is the prime tool for growing people and profits.

A lot of people into Tool, for some reason, are not interested in humor.
Education is such an important tool for success, and probably the most important one.
Virtual reality started for me in sort of an unusual place. It was the 1970s. I got into the field very young: I was seven years old. And the tool that I used to access virtual reality was the Evel Knievel stunt cycle.
I’m only interested in science fiction that’s used as a literary device, a shortcut into something more exploratory or universal about our experience. That’s why I think it was invented and why mythology was invented; it’s a tool, not an end to itself.
I always say, ‘Man, the Creator is preparing me for something. He’s keeping the sun on me for some reason. He’s keeping me aligned with that generation.’ Because I genuinely love people, I love hip-hop, and I love using it as a tool to communicate and to create a better vibration.
