“We have four very distinct members in System... We're very different -...” — John Dolmayan Quote

We have four very distinct members in System... We're very different - not better or worse; just different.

The fact is I don't write songs, per se; I've written a couple here and there, but that's not my forte.

We're a very stubborn and stupid band. And we don't make decisions necessarily based on what's best for everybody.

If you're a System fan and you gravitate towards the music, you enjoy the music, but you don't necessarily agree with the perceived message, well, where do you go? If you think that Serj is the mouthpiece of the band, which he is, as far as vocally, but not necessarily for ideology, then you have nowhere to go.

The insurgents are Baathists and Sunnis in Iraq who have as their goal a separate and distinct one of toppling the government that is there and creating their own.

Every so often when I'm writing, a character might actually be a distinct person in my head - often not an actor or a face, literally a person who just seems to exist in my imagination. Then the challenge is finding somebody who is close enough to that to make me feel like I've ended up where I wanted to be.

Harold, like the rest of us, had many impressions which saved him the trouble of distinct ideas.
