The Casual Listener Won't Be Around Forever.

If I Weren't Making Music, I'd Be The Kid Who Writes Into The Magazines And Says, "why Don't You Guys Ever Cover Anything That's Different? Hip Hop Is So Much Of The Same Thing Over And Over Again." I Love Hip Hop, So I Wanted To Make An Album From That Standpoint, 'cause That's Who I Am.

Right Now, When It Comes To Making An Album, We Really Want To Give Our Fans Just Linkin Park. We Don't Want To Water It Down With Anything Else Or Confuse It With Anything Else. Meteora Is Just Us And That's Where Our Focus Has Been. So Hopefully The Fans Can Enjoy That.

Dream Big, Work Hard And Don't Be An Asshole!

I Know At One Point I Had Bright Red Hair And I Had Bracelets From My Wrist Up To My Elbow And I Was Wearing Size 50 Pants. I Wouldn't Wear That Today, But I'm Not Embarrassed About Wearing It Back Then Any More.

I Find That The Things That Really, You Know, Get Us Fired Up, Tend To Be Things That, For Example, Things That You Talk About Tonight, What We See In The News.
