Mike Shinoda: When the rich wage war its the poor who die.
Chester: (regarding the music direction of their third album) We're straying away from a lot of the predictable sounds we've had in the past, but there's no question in your mind when you hear it that it's Linkin Park...We've always said we write the music we write so that we can spread our wings as far as we want and try new things and go anywhere. I think we're really going to prove that with this new record.
Rob(about album after Meteora): I think the new album will definitely have some softer, piano based songs.
