What attracted you to the Charlie script in the first place?
How sensitive it was. Tragic. It was so sad.
Were you worried about the setting at all, since it takes place among preppies at college in upstate New York?
No, I loved that. I didn't go to college, so I got to live vicariously, and imagine what I thought college would be like. So I'd look at the campuses and the quads and go, ''No, this isn't what I see, man, I see it like this,'' and the [location] scout got annoyed, and started freaking out. [Laughs]
How stressful was the directing experience?
With the music, there's a venting. There's my alter-ego guy up there, going [in a dark voice], ''Whoa, you gotta turn it on.'' And I'm like, ''I don't feel like it.'' And the other guy's like [dark voice], ''Do it.'' And I'd go, ''All right, I'll do it.'' But filmmaking is more about a good vibe. You gotta keep your cool.
So you feel a lot mellower now in your life?
I'm still young at heart, but I'm [feeling] a lot more 36. [Pause] You enjoy the aroma much more, you take the time to sip it a little slower, and appreciate it a little more.
Do you regret some of the stuff from the past? The tabloid stuff, talking about Britney in the press?
That's just something that happened. People live and learn. You can't regret it, that's the thing. You just have to keep moving on. I'm obsessed with growing older.
Do you think Limp Bizkit will get back together?
I don't know. That's one of those things...
On MySpace you said you'd like to get all the original guys back.
Wouldn't that be cool? It'd probably be...insane.
You think you could do it?
Oh, I could always do it. But there comes a time when you'd look silly doing it, with our type of music. And yeah, I can imagine there's a point where you're just singing along with words that you just don't mean anymore.
