I don't feel like singing should be taken lightly. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done, but it's coming along.

I almost shouldnt be in Limp Bizkit, its like I got matched in the factory with the wrong band.

Real family values have gone down the drain in modern families.

Guys are idiots, till they're what, 40 years old.

Music has completely taken over every aspect of my life and ruined everything.

I have nothing to complain about.

There may be something good in silence. It's a brand new thing. You can hear the funniest little discussions, if you keep turning the volume down. Shut yourself up, and listen out loud.

It's always a pleasure when you can compose guitar parts from a strong vocal and not just put the melody on top of guitar riffs.

It's weird to try to write lyrics for somebody else. They can't really get behind what you're saying or what you want them to say because they didn't experience it.

I've never really been schooled in music theory. I'm a guitar player, and I attack the guitar in a certain way that it not fully unique to me, but it's more unique that some other people.

Selling records is fantastic. But if you're not loving what you do, and if everybody is throwing knives at you, it can get old very fast.

You sure about this writer thing son?

I never loved anyone else and never desired to. She was my companion, my lover, and my teacher.

Love can be simply stated to be the desire of the human being to integrate oneself with other selves in such a way that one starts feeling the pain and pleasure of another person as if of one’s own.

I feel it was just a few years ago I was running around in short pants

I find my breath gets short, but it seldom gets longer as a man gets older. I take it as it comes, and make the most of it. That's the best way, ain't it?

Sometimes I photograph without looking through the viewfinder. I have mastered that well enough, it is almost as if I were looking through it.

We built everything - toilets included. I think those islands in the middle of nowhere are quite poetic. It's kind of an Oriental Atlantis.

I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing, I fear for their safety.

Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
