Mike Shinoda

I liked the piano. I always liked playing. I just hated homework.

I grew up painting and playing piano so when I was a little kid I thought I was going to be an artist or a painter but my mom had me taking piano lessons for about 10-12 years as a young kid.

My dad remembers being in school with my uncle, and the teacher would say outright to the class that the Japanese were second-class citizens and shouldn't be trusted.

When I was in high school, if my favorite band got too popular, I'd watch carefully.

A decade is a long time to be doing anything, much less to be with the same guys, chasing after the same goals.

Little pieces of advice like that can provide us with months' worth of entertainment.
