Zitat des Tages von Fred Durst:
I'm a real director.
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.
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 won't deny a song or a melody. I can't deny it.
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.
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 got beat up by popular, athletic soccer-type people.
It's amazing how, over time, a person's perspective can be altered.
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.
For someone in my position, there's opportunities to be anything you want to be, even if you shouldn't be eligible, and I think that's left a bad taste in a lots of financers' and studios' mouths. Just cause someone's popular at one thing, letting them do the other isn't always the right thing.
My life. The life I'm living that's where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.
I'm a sentimental guy.
I'm OCD beyond comparison.
I stopped predicting the future a long time ago.
I think they'd rather us follow our hearts and I hope that's what some people will understand.
My Web site, everything I write in there is from me.
There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.
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.
When I look back on my knee-jerk reactions now, I realize I should have just taken a breath.
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'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.
I'm in touch with the social networks and stuff.
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've always wanted to make movies.
You know, in my music career there was a moment where the irony was just so heavy. There were people in my audience that were the reason I developed neuroses. These people that tortured my life were using my art, my poetry, as fuel for them, to torture other people.
I'm my own salesman. I can't let anybody do anything for me.
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'm always looking for new talent.
I think ever since I was preteen I wanted to direct movies and tell stories.
I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it.
I'm definitely on the incline to a peak.
It's not about how much movement you do, how much interaction there is, it just reeks of credibility if it's real. If it's contrived, it seems to work for a while for the people who can't filter out the real and unreal.
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 love jazz music and sad music. I'm a sentimental guy. I'm a romantic guy.
I love collaborating.
