View all quotes by Mike Patton"Revenge is good. I think revenge is healthy too, and if you can use music in that way, a sort of therapeutic way for yourself, it cant do any harm. So if King (For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime) is angry in any way, its angry in a random, chaotic, healthy way. Like the guy who goes into a building, shoots a bunch of holes in the wall and then leaves. He didnt kill anybody."
Mike Patton"Puffys the only guy whos jealous. "All drummers want to be singers. I think its a myth that the singer needs to be the focus. Bands perpetuate that myth. With somebody like Sebastian Bach it makes sense. Look at him. He could be in an Avon ad."
Mike Patton"I got one entire song from fortune cookies (Land of Sunshine). On another one, I took words from different Frank Sinatra songs and pasted them together. Another one, I was just driving around and there was a piece of paper on the ground, so I stole it."
Mike Patton"Big Jim is over and out, as far as I am concerned."

Mike Patton"Oh, have you seen Beavis and Butt-Head when they watch one of our videos and Beavis goes: These guys sound just like the Chili Peppers? As if I havent heard that one before!"
