People's attention spans don't run too long these days.
I don't get it when people complain that baseball games are too long.
Music is an emotion, and I put it out there.
I am depressed sometimes, but it's not what keeps me at home or focused on work.
I always want to grow and top myself.
Basically I write songs, and I need for there to be a home for these songs.
Politicians use religion, and they get their troops riled up with religion.
I'll always be a member of System of a Down. That will never change.
My dad is my biggest influence on me as a musician, even though he's not a musician.
Why don't presidents fight the war? - Why do they always send the poor?
Masturbation is great for the right arm
I would expect another Scars album before another System album.
Other kids would take their parents to the toy store and I'd take my mom to the record store.
Does it bother me that some people are burning their own System CDs and taking money out of my pocket? Not really. This has always been about putting the best possible version of the song in the fans hands. It was like selling an artist's painting before he had finished it.
