People can say what they want but it doesn't stop me from doing what I'm crazy about doing.
Happiness isn't a destination; its a journey.
To me, music is emotion and if when you're listening to it and it doesn't make you feel that, then it's not music.
Be your own person because no one can take that away from you.
Never understood a lot about the world... music is one of the only things that makes any sense.
Never give up. There is always hope, there is always life. You've just gotta open your heart to it. Live in love.
Wake up and create a purpose for yourself. Don't ask the meaning of life, ask yourself the meaning of each given day.
You have many options in life, never make giving up one of them
Your uniqueness is your strength. Remember that. Don't mold yourself to others or to what others think. You're an individual. You're special.
Linkin Park has been a band for such a long time, for me, in my eyes. I was 16 years old when I first heard them. I heard 'Hybrid Theory,' and I was floored at what I was listening to. It was angry yet melodic, it had hip-hop and it had - it was just different, good. Good songwriting.
I had actually hurt my neck, and because I went a while without getting it taken care of - it was pushing up against the back of my heart - and because I have heart issues, they thought it was this whole big deal. So I spent a good three days in the hospital, two nights in the ICU.
The 'rock world' is a lot smaller than it used to be. It's doing a lot less things than it used to be. From Woodstock back in the day and Rage Against the Machine, no one sells millions of records anymore.
It's disheartening to read the really negative stuff, but at the same time, I know who I am, and I'm comfortable with myself.
