Fred Durst
If you wanna know how not secure you are, just take a look around. Nothing's secure. Nothing's safe. I don't hate technology, I don't hate hackers, because that's just what comes with it, without those hackers we wouldn't solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.Collection: Technology
It's amazing how, over time, a person's perspective can be altered.Collection: Time
I loved the Cure and Bauhaus and the Smiths. The people in my town weren't privy to that kind of music and I got abused. I discovered the microphone to get out some of that angst.Collection: Music
I love jazz music and sad music. I'm a sentimental guy. I'm a romantic guy.Collection: Romantic
I think they'd rather us follow our hearts and I hope that's what some people will understand.Collection: Hope
I'm a romantic guy.Collection: Romantic
When you're a kid, you see your parents reading the newspaper and you're like, 'God, why are they reading the newspaper?' When you're young, you're not reading the newspaper. But there comes a time in your life when the newspaper's cool.Collection: Cool
That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain.Collection: Best
I stopped predicting the future a long time ago.Collection: Future
When I look back on my knee-jerk reactions now, I realize I should have just taken a breath.
I don't fight people for fun.
I'm the same guy at that podium preaching to the people on every single song. I'm not doing a dance for you on another song. It's all a direct assault.
I'm OCD beyond comparison.
Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.
To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.
People evolve and grow, and life is fascinating and fun and tragic.
My life. The life I'm living that's where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.
Everybody loves the underdog, and then they take an underdog and make him a hero and they hate him. But as long as they can knock you back down, it seems like if you're an underdog again, and things do surface, and they think this is real, 'these guys' intentions are genuine and sincere,' it seems like they will embrace you again.
Prague is a dark place.
I'm a sensitive guy; I respond to things that make my eyes well up a little bit, or make me root for people. I find the human condition interesting.
I usually find several ways to express myself: different moods, different days, different voices, different things, 'I'm lighthearted today, I'm gonna do this.'
I was a kid who got picked on in school, and now the guys beating up those kids were wearing red caps and using my music to fuel that aggression. But if they listen to the lyrics, the aggression is targeted at them.
I love electronic music, and I love drum and bass.
I love finding EPs for bands that you just discover.
I didn't want to do a throwaway, mindless movie with fart jokes just to make 6-year-olds laugh. I want to provide my children with some substance.
There's some people who are not understanding what Limp Bizkit is about. But, then again, who am I to tell people what they can use art for or how they can interpret it?
I want to clear my mind a little bit and give my mind a little bit of time to breathe so I can pinpoint or at least nail down feelings I'm having and that I've had for the last however long. I need to nail them down long enough to actually write about and elaborate on them.
Emotionally, I was affected a lot by Rage Against the Machine, not specifically the literal intention of the words or what it was about, but the feel, the sound, those phrases that got me.
When you reminisce aren't the times that someone's forcing you to reminisce. You reminisce other times in your life.
I'm definitely on the incline to a peak.
There's an insecure part of me that comes out of me, I get nervous. I don't know why, I wish I could overcome it because it gives me an anxiety feeling.
Being in front of all these people staring at you and it helps you to dig down and become more emotional and get lost in it as you're feeding on people's energy.
One of the things that was confusing about Limp Bizkit to some people is that our tastes were very different.
I'm an actor's director.
I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life. Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.
When Wes came back to Limp Bizkit, we really wanted to do something different. We wanted to make a core record that we didn't care who liked or who disliked.
I wouldn't support Limp Bizkit being on some snuff backyard brawling, fighting contest.
I'm 38 years old and Limp Bizkit is just something I do. If I was a painter, it would just be a type of painting I make.
Our music has always been instant reactive and I guess taking our time to absorb things and say what you really want to say could be much more offensive than anything we've ever done.
And touring is difficult when everybody's heads aren't in the same place.
As much as I want to go out and tour every single day and I'm ready to rip it right now, there's five people in the band, there's five people who've evolved and grown and there's five people who have to get on the same page and want the same things, and it takes a lot to tour.
Sometimes it's about less is more. It's about the seed. Thinking about this gigantic tree that you think is so beautiful but it started with this just seed.
When life was worrying about a car payment or a rent payment and a bill, you're so consumed with that, you really don't have time to know yourself. That's surviving and getting by.
I don't hate technology, I don't hate hackers, because that's just what comes with it, without those hackers we wouldn't solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.
When you say something is very different to a core base that expects heavy music from you or very aggressive music, everybody tends to go, 'Oh, they're gonna get mellow, they're gonna get soft.'
I'm always looking for new talent.
I'm a sentimental guy.
There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.
I'm an actor's director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.
Sometimes I feel like I used to be a person that liked to express himself a lot and put my feelings out there.
