Since this record is coming out on Machine Shop, our label, I could pick anyone I wanted to work on it, so I chose Brad as our AR guy, which is hilarious because ... Brad's not a label guy, he's my friend, ... I've known him since I was like 13 years old and he can come in and say, 'Hey, that song, it's good, but trash this part of it and do this differently,' and I will actually listen to him.
More Quotes from Mike Shinoda:
The Jet video with the cartoons in the forest is one of my favorite videos of the last few years, it's just hilarious. So based on that, I know he sets up a good story,Mike Shinoda
We have people in the band who don't drink or do drugs... some of us like to go sightseeing.

It's called Fort Minor instead of my name because there is a bunch of other people involved in the project. But I only wanted to work with family and friends people who I feel are really close to me and we see eye-to-eye. Besides that, Fort has a militant meaning and Minor in music is a smaller, darker, sadder note, so the name is a reflection of the music.

I respect Jay-Z's retirement. People make a big deal about him getting on records and all this stuff and I don't want to be any kind of fuel to that fire.

He did a very different video for me, ... It's really clean and there's these crazy light effects. As you're shooting the video, it's like there's nothing there, so you had to imagine what's going to happen. I was very critical. I had to apologize many times for making him go back and change things a lot, but he was a good sport about it and we basically spent an extra two weeks on it. Basically from my face to the album artwork to crazy shapes that fly through the air, they're all transparent, three-dimensional light shapes that flow through the air and carry the song.

I would have never done this record if I didn't have the blessing of the rest of the guys, ... We're not, like, on hiatus. We're working. We're very serious about our records, and I know the guys are at home right now writing. Hopefully we are looking at next year for a record.
