I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.

There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.

Everybody loves the underdog, and then they take an underdog and make him a hero and they hate him. But as long as they can knock you back down, it seems like if you're an underdog again, and things do surface, and they think this is real, 'these guys' intentions are genuine and sincere,' it seems like they will embrace you again.

I wouldn't support Limp Bizkit being on some snuff backyard brawling, fighting contest.

When Wes came back to Limp Bizkit, we really wanted to do something different. We wanted to make a core record that we didn't care who liked or who disliked.

Emotionally, I was affected a lot by Rage Against the Machine, not specifically the literal intention of the words or what it was about, but the feel, the sound, those phrases that got me.

I'm definitely on the incline to a peak.

My life. The life I'm living that's where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.

For someone in my position, there's opportunities to be anything you want to be, even if you shouldn't be eligible, and I think that's left a bad taste in a lots of financers' and studios' mouths. Just cause someone's popular at one thing, letting them do the other isn't always the right thing.

I love finding EPs for bands that you just discover.

As much as I want to go out and tour every single day and I'm ready to rip it right now, there's five people in the band, there's five people who've evolved and grown and there's five people who have to get on the same page and want the same things, and it takes a lot to tour.

When I go to shows, I'm really looking forward to hearing the songs I know. I don't like it when a band tries to expose me to new stuff.

I'm 38 years old and Limp Bizkit is just something I do. If I was a painter, it would just be a type of painting I make.

I want to clear my mind a little bit and give my mind a little bit of time to breathe so I can pinpoint or at least nail down feelings I'm having and that I've had for the last however long. I need to nail them down long enough to actually write about and elaborate on them.

I've been around golf my whole life. My father did it all the time, and I resented him for it. But a couple years ago I picked up a golf club and I understood the physics of it. If anyone knows anything about golf, it's that once you hit a few shots, you'll become addicted.

When I look back on my knee-jerk reactions now, I realize I should have just taken a breath.

I'm obsessed by film. I'm obsessed with music and producing and making things happen.

I was a kid who got picked on in school and got beat up by popular, athletic soccer-type people.

I'm an actor's director.

And touring is difficult when everybody's heads aren't in the same place.
