I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.

Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.

Sometimes I feel like I used to be a person that liked to express himself a lot and put my feelings out there.

My Web site, everything I write in there is from me.

I've always wanted to make movies.

When you're a kid, you see your parents reading the newspaper and you're like, 'God, why are they reading the newspaper?' When you're young, you're not reading the newspaper. But there comes a time in your life when the newspaper's cool.

I was a kid who got picked on in school and got beat up by popular, athletic soccer-type people.

I think ever since I was preteen I wanted to direct movies and tell stories.

I don't think my name would necessarily draw people to come see the movie. It might hurt the movie, honestly.

I don't fight people for fun.

I won't deny a song or a melody. I can't deny it.

Directing a movie is serious, it's not a joke.

Directing a film is a lot of work.

I want to make timeless movies.

I'm a real director.

People evolve and grow, and life is fascinating and fun and tragic.

I'm obsessed by film. I'm obsessed with music and producing and making things happen.

I'm my own salesman. I can't let anybody do anything for me.

To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

I made a lot mistakes that I'm grateful for, because I won't make them again and I won't let my artists make them, or I'll tell them, 'Don't do this.' A lot of them still make them anyway, but you can't be told things when you're doing your own thing.

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 have always been Fred Durst and I've always been me.

I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it.

I love collaborating.

Once you get in a position where your rent is taken care of and you do have a job, you really get to deal with yourself and really become one with yourself. And you wake to your mind every day. That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain.
