“We treated 'Psychosis' like a labor of love from the beginning, from t...” — Max Cavalera Quote

We treated 'Psychosis' like a labor of love from the beginning, from the selection of riffs - I spent like a month just doing riffs for the record.

We all have violence inside of us, but we try to channel it into what we do.

I'm very proud of 'Arise.'

I listen to a lot of metal. I'm like a teenager - I make playlists with, like, 200 bands on them.

I always think of the 'Schizophrenia' album as being like the cover of the Scorpions' 'Blackout.' It's got this guy breaking out of the glass, but he's got a straightjacket on. I think it's a bit of 'Blackout' mixed with a little bit of 'A Clockwork Orange.'

Labor is the source of all wealth and all culture.

A very big passion of mine and that of the people that run our production is finding factories that have fair labor practices and treating them more like partners in our family than people just who are going to produce for us.

I had, like, four Sigur Ros records on my playlist when I was in labor.

Writing is manual labor of the mind - like laying pipe.

I love all of my books. They were labors of love; I was striving to create something well done, and I do feel I succeeded.
