Rob: I have a shelter on me.
Phoenix: Is that good?
Rob: Also the sprinklers are kind of like probably six feet in front of me.
Phoenix: So you're not going to get wet?
Rob: I'll probably just get a little wet while the other guys are going to soaked. It's all good.
LATER...
Rob: It was fun.
Phoenix: You ended up getting wet huh?
Rob: Ended up getting soaked. I didn't get out of it.
Rob: This is the beautiful room service, chicken fricassee.
Mike: What does it smell like Rob?
Rob: *puts nose near the bowl* Oh...BAD.
Brad: Dude, I can't even believe you got that close to it!
Rob: *laughing* It smells like-
Mike: Dude, put the cover back on it. It smells like BO.
Mike: The funniest part about chicken fricassee, is the evolution of Dave having to change the way he said it because the guy was laughing at him when he called up and asked for chicken frick-a-see.
Rob: That is the skylight window of the kitchen where this chicken was prepared, and we're going to return it.
Mike: Take it...back! *throws the chicken down @ skylight window*
(I almost pissed my pants from laughing when I watched this. It's so completely classic!)

-92.3 Xtreme Radio Interview, July 31, 2002
* "I have a very broad taste in music. I can learn and enjoy something from so many of the different bands and styles of music out there. Keeping an open mind enables me to grow as a musician. I learned to play the drums by playing along with Led Zeppelin CD's and playing Nirvana cover songs with a band in junior high. I took lessons for a few months, but never got into reading drum music and stopped. The joke is, a band is made up of 4-5 musicians and a drummer. I don't really fit that stereotype, at least most of the time. I studied music for a while and also write music on the piano. I approach drumming musically and concentrate on making the drums fit to emphasize the melody and lyrics, or stand out with a strong driving beat when necessary. I love being a part of Hybrid Theory because we have the ability to create new sounds and move music into uncharted territory."
- Not sure of source, but taken from when Linkin Park was known as Hybrid Theory
ON WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE TOURING WITH METALLICA & LIMP BIZKIT:
* "I was listening to Metallica when I was in junior high school and they were a huge influence on me to play music, so I'm psyched to be playing with them."

(You know, one weird thing I've noticed while compiling all these different Rob quotes is while he's pretty quiet and shy, when asked a question, he can just launch off into his own monologue. It's really cute, especially because he doesn't seem like the babbling type. Heehee.)
