Sometimes you feel like it's cursed when something takes so long to come out and you don't know if it's going to really come out.
To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.
I love finding EPs for bands that you just discover.
One of the things that was confusing about Limp Bizkit to some people is that our tastes were very different.
And touring is difficult when everybody's heads aren't in the same place.
Directing a film is a lot of work.
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'm an actor's director.
I made a lot mistakes that I'm grateful for, because I won't make them again and I won't let my artists make them, or I'll tell them, 'Don't do this.' A lot of them still make them anyway, but you can't be told things when you're doing your own thing.
I loved the Cure and Bauhaus and the Smiths. The people in my town weren't privy to that kind of music and I got abused. I discovered the microphone to get out some of that angst.
Sometimes I feel like I used to be a person that liked to express himself a lot and put my feelings out there.
I was a kid who got picked on in school, and now the guys beating up those kids were wearing red caps and using my music to fuel that aggression. But if they listen to the lyrics, the aggression is targeted at them.
I want to make timeless movies.
I don't fight people for fun.
I'm a romantic guy.
Sometimes it's about less is more. It's about the seed. Thinking about this gigantic tree that you think is so beautiful but it started with this just seed.
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.
People evolve and grow, and life is fascinating and fun and tragic.
Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.
I wouldn't support Limp Bizkit being on some snuff backyard brawling, fighting contest.
That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain.
Once you get in a position where your rent is taken care of and you do have a job, you really get to deal with yourself and really become one with yourself. And you wake to your mind every day. That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain.
I am not a hater.
I love electronic music, and I love drum and bass.
Being in front of all these people staring at you and it helps you to dig down and become more emotional and get lost in it as you're feeding on people's energy.
Our music has always been instant reactive and I guess taking our time to absorb things and say what you really want to say could be much more offensive than anything we've ever done.
I'm a sensitive guy; I respond to things that make my eyes well up a little bit, or make me root for people. I find the human condition interesting.
I don't hate technology, I don't hate hackers, because that's just what comes with it, without those hackers we wouldn't solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.
I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.

I don't think my name would necessarily draw people to come see the movie. It might hurt the movie, honestly.
