I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.
-
I was a kid who got picked on in school and got beat up by popular, athletic soccer-type people.
-
That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain.
-
When life was worrying about a car payment or a rent payment and a bill, you're so consumed with that, you really don't have time to know yourself. That's surviving and getting by.
-
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.
-
Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.
-
The great musicians are those who can reach people, who can make people feel something.
-
My early influences I'd say were, well, just about all the old great masters like Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, naturally Charlie Parker and quite a few others that are still around like Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Illinois Jacquet and of course my great friend Dexter Gordon.
-
I'm always looking for new talent.
-
I'm in touch with the social networks and stuff.
-
I don't want to bore myself, so I'm always writing new music. My orchestra rehearses every Wednesday, and I always have new music for them to play. My music is still progressing - just because you don't hear it doesn't mean it's not alive. The music is complicated, but it's about emotion. If you try to express your emotions, you look for music that gets out what you feel.
-
I don't think my name would necessarily draw people to come see the movie. It might hurt the movie, honestly.
-
Sometimes I feel like I used to be a person that liked to express himself a lot and put my feelings out there.
-
Well I'm a third-generation musician. My Grandfather's a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I'm a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician 'cause I was born into the family.
-
I'm a real director.
-
I love electronic music, and I love drum and bass.
-
To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.
-
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 was really conscious of that when I went in because I felt that I was pretty solid on the first one, but I didn't have the groove exactly where I wanted it.
-
I usually find several ways to express myself: different moods, different days, different voices, different things, 'I'm lighthearted today, I'm gonna do this.'
-
I want to make timeless movies.
-
I'm the same guy at that podium preaching to the people on every single song. I'm not doing a dance for you on another song. It's all a direct assault.
-
It's amazing how, over time, a person's perspective can be altered.
-
One of the things that was confusing about Limp Bizkit to some people is that our tastes were very different.
