“At first it was a bit strange and daunting to have to wear a mask, but afterwards I came to enjoy it. In warm conditions, though, it started to slip off my face. Other times they used this double-sided sticky tape, and I literally couldn't get it off my face. I would feel like I was ripping my face off and I had a lot of cuts and bruises because of it-huge red marks. People might think it was method acting.”
Gerard Butler
“Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“We aren't hiding behind these masks, we're actually revealing more to you than you might think. The mask I wear brings out all the sh*t inside me that I hate. Plus it hurts like hell, which helps my intensity. If you feel like talking, you talk, if you don't, you don't. So many people are like, 'Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick!' F*ck you! You don't know what we're about! Our motto has always been, 'Music First.' Even if the masks and the coveralls weren't there, the music would still be good.”
Corey Taylor
“Wear the masks yet know underneath the mask is you and only you..That is life...”
Kat Morgan
“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
James Arthur Baldwin
“1)Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid or something? 2)Oh no. It's just they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.”
The Princess Bride
“I had to get used to wearing a mask and wearing a prosthetic and performing with those things while singing and expressing myself through stylized movement, while keeping it as human as possible so the audience could be closer to the horror of the Phantom.”
