Who can't relate to the idea of leaving one chapter behind and moving on to the next?

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.

I've been really excited about some new cutting edge electronic music and technology.

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.

I usually like to make really dramatic songs that are dynamic from part to part - a lot of jumping from really quiet to really loud.

For me, I feel like, if the right movie comes along, I'd do it again. It's not about the budget. It's about whether it's something that I'm excited to work on.

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