I wanted to learn how to be the best dad that I could be to my beautiful little girl.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&quot;Right before I quit Korn, I caught my daughter walking around my house one day singing songs about sex and death that came from my band. I wasn&#8217;t having that anymore. When you have a 5-year-old daughter singing &#8216;All Day I Dream About Sex&#8217;, and &#8216;Dead Bodies Everywhere&#8217; etc., it&#8217;s going to have an effect on you as a parent. Also, I was sick and tired of being a slave to the ol&#8217; mighty buck at the expense of my family, my music, my happiness, my health, and my morals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&quot;I loved money more than everything in my life. Money was my god and it was going to kill me if I didn&#8217;t get my life in the correct order it needed to be in. I played Mr. Angry for too long. I wanted to feel love again in my heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&quot;I&#8217;m not an angry Christian. I&#8217;m not better than anyone. Christians are supposed to despise the principalities that hurt the people in the world, not despise the people in the world. I think some Christians and non-Christian people are very confused about that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&quot;I left Korn because my child was starting to imitate her dad. I left Korn because i wasn&#8217;t happy anymore. I left Korn because I was supposed to leave Korn. I would still be in Korn right now if I was meant to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&quot;After I left, Jesus healed me from a major alcohol and drug addiction, and most of all a broken heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&quot;I feel like some people want me and my former bandmates to not get along like it&#8217;s some kind of battle between good and evil. Words in magazines get all twisted around. It&#8217;s lame! The stuff that was said in some recent interviews that I did wasn&#8217;t said in the context that it was written. I did say a couple things a few months ago, but I&#8217;ve apologized for them and I&#8217;ve moved on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&quot;I love all my brothers in Korn. I was just as much of a whiny rock star as they were. The lifestyle made us that way. I heard that those guys are closer than ever now. That makes me happy and sad at the same time. I&#8217;m happy because they are happy, but I&#8217;m sad because I&#8217;m not there with them in the happiness. All I know for sure is that I love Jesus and my baby girl with all my heart.
