I don't drink. I choose to be sober now. I have drunk over the last six years, but I just don't want to be that person anymore.
From Chester Bennington
I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself.
I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.
Asking someone to describe what something sounds like is like telling a blind person to guess what I look like.
When I'm writing, I'm constantly thinking about myself, because it's the only experience I have to draw on. And I don't see an exact reflection of myself in every face in the audience, but I know that my songs have validity to them, and that's why the fans are there.
Well, we promised our fans that we'd put out records faster, and that's what we're doing. We figured out a way to condense our cycle, so to speak, by... continuing to write, trying to keep the creative ball rolling as often as possible.
All of our songs take these really big creative turns and twists throughout the process, so sometimes songs will start out as a melody or some musical chord progressions.
You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it.
We'd like to think that our music will always be bigger than any one of our individual personalities.
Touring for two years is excruciating.
