I’m obsessed by film. I’m obsessed with music and producing and making things happen.
I’m an actor’s director. I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life.
I’m always looking for new talent.
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’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 stopped predicting the future a long time ago.
I made a lot mistakes that I’m grateful for, because I won’t make them again and I won’t let my artists make them, or I’ll tell them, ‘Don’t do this.’ A lot of them still make them anyway, but you can’t be told things when you’re doing your own thing.
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 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 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.
I’m my own salesman. I can’t let anybody do anything for me.
I’m in touch with the social networks and stuff.
I wouldn’t support Limp Bizkit being on some snuff backyard brawling, fighting contest.
There’s definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you’re so eclectic.
I have always been Fred Durst and I’ve always been me.
Directing a movie is serious, it’s not a joke.
And touring is difficult when everybody’s heads aren’t in the same place.
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.
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.’
My Web site, everything I write in there is from me.
