I'm an ER doctor, period. I look at a problem with a certain lens: very action-oriented, very results-oriented.
In the thirties a whole school of criticism bogged down intellectually in those agitprop, social-realistic days. A play had to be progressive. A number of plays by playwrights who were thought very highly of then - they were very bad playwrights - were highly praised because their themes were intellectually and politically proper. This intellectual morass is very dangerous, it seems to me. A form of censorship.
Iranian people are very hospitable, very family-oriented and besides that they have a very beautiful country.
The process that we go through in recording with Tool is very organic, but at the same time it is very thought out. There is a very left-brain process of dissecting what we're doing and drawing from source material; it's very research oriented and esoteric.
I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.
I'm impatient. Typically people think they know all about change and don't need help. Their approach tends to be more management-oriented than leadership-oriented. It's very frustrating.
I simply love Wagner's music. That actually started very early. He was the first composer I was exposed very much to because my parents introduced me to Wagner's music very early.
I'm very sensual and very rhythm-oriented and into poetry. Women can feel that.
I am very picky about my food, and I'm very healthy-oriented, so I always try to cook.

I've always been very outspoken and very risk oriented.
I came from a very corporate environment, but my own style is quite approachable, warm, and very detail oriented.
I had gotten to know the music scene there, and just fell in love with it. I've lived there a little over four years now. There's a charm to Denton. The musicians in Denton are all very talented, but they're also all very accessible and very community-oriented.
I was writing from a very, very early age. My father used to write. He died early, and my mother was a schoolteacher, so my academic background from childhood is a strong one, a good one.
The Black Mountain poet I like most is the early Creeley. Those early poems seem very lyrical and very traditional, with a lot of voice and character.
I like to go to bed very early and get up very early.
