I have always been Fred Durst and I’ve always been me.
Once you get in a position where your rent is taken care of and you do have a job, you really get to deal with yourself and really become one with yourself. And you wake to your mind every day. That’s your best friend and your worst enemy – your own brain.
One of the things that was confusing about Limp Bizkit to some people is that our tastes were very different.
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.
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.
I’ve been around golf my whole life. My father did it all the time, and I resented him for it. But a couple years ago I picked up a golf club and I understood the physics of it. If anyone knows anything about golf, it’s that once you hit a few shots, you’ll become addicted.

When I go to shows, I’m really looking forward to hearing the songs I know. I don’t like it when a band tries to expose me to new stuff.
I love jazz music and sad music. I’m a sentimental guy. I’m a romantic guy.
Sometimes you feel like it’s cursed when something takes so long to come out and you don’t know if it’s going to really come out.

I’m a sentimental guy.
Sometimes I feel like I used to be a person that liked to express himself a lot and put my feelings out there.
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.
Directing a film is a lot of work.
I don’t fight people for fun.
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.
Without those hackers, we wouldn’t solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.
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.

I love collaborating.
