Frases de Mike Shinoda

“Passei por muitas coisas na minha vida, algumas maravilhosas, outras horrorosas, e a forma como eu gosto de colocar tudo isso para fora é através da minha música, cantando.”

“Nós só fazemos tudo a partir de vários rascunhos.”

“Chester e eu escrevemos sobre emoções universais, quer isto pareça insignificante, otimista ou frustante.”

“O que nos torna especiais é que somos muitos diferentes uns dos outros, temos personalidade totalmente diversas e todos ouvimos coisas bastantes diferentes. Cada um traz essa experiência para a banda e a combinação desses elementos nos torna único.”

“Nós sabemos que o que temos é gradioso, e vamos seguir adiante até encontrarmos alguém que pense da mesma forma.”

“Nosso trabalho é fazer músicas, não analisar por que elas fazem sucesso. Nós esperamos que a causa seja o fato de que as pessoas gostam daquilo que estão escutando.”

“Começamos com a banda por que estávamos esperando por um som que não aparecia nunca. Nós nos cansamos de esperar e decidimos fazer por contra própria.”

“I really enjoy it -- it's like a videogame on wheels. The GPS touch screen is one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen in a car. I still have a Range Rover that I don't drive much anymore, because I started feeling bad about it.”

“I'm not russian! just wanted to drop in and say hi. also, I wanted to clear up the fact that i'm not half Russian. I don't know where people get their facts (probably on the internet, where rumor might as well be fact, hahaha). But I'm half japanese and half…american, I guess. my mom's family is a mix of a ton of different things. a lot of it is European, and there's a little native American in there. But that side of my family has been in the US forever, so i just call it American to keep it simple.”

“I just realized that I hadn't posted about the film "An Inconvenient Truth" for those of you who don't know, this movie talks about global warming. I went into the movie a little skeptical, wondering if I was going to be preached at by Al Gore, the narrator and spokesperson for the film. It's a documentary, too, so I wasn't expecting anything too exciting. As it turns out, this movie is a must-see. it's not about Al Gore, tree-hugging hippies, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, George Bush, or U. S. issues. This film and the movement surrounding it is about being aware of the nasty turn our world and weather seems to be taking, and what we can do to turn it around before we ruin the only pace we have to live. The information in this film is shocking. Parts of our planet that I assumed were covered in ice are now melting, and the photos of these places, seen in the movie, make me nervous. The links from this past year's natural disasters to the overall direction of global warming is an issue that is worth looking at. The ten hottest years ever measured were in the last 14 years. The hottest was last year, but it doesn't take a genius to tell that this year is hotter.”

“It was a fun show. At one point the barricade in front of the stage gave way, which scared the concert promoters because they thought people were going to get hurt. So we had to stop the show for a while. That was funny… Although I guess only funny because no one got hurt.”

“Global warming. Every day I leave my house and think, "was it this hot last year?" the heat this summer here in LA and in most of the US has been unbearable. I can't remember another time when it was 105 degrees fahrenheit out here (40.5 celsius), and that's the kind of weather we've been having pretty much every day.”

“Oh, happy Perthday!”
