“Obviously it’s allowed me to share my pain with the world that, maybe at the time, didn’t allow me to share my pain – didn’t give me easy access to a way to let that out. It allowed me to tap into the inner angst and write it down and make sure that I could let it go, and show people how to do it themselves. So I think, in a way, being in Slipknot has just made me a better person – a better, well-rounded person, and someone who realises that, when I’m hurting, I should always try to find a way to either get help or solve the pain.”
