Chester Bennington quotes about
If fans come up to me, I talk to them.
It's not cool to be an alcoholic.
To pigeonhole a genre as being successful or unsuccessful is weird.
I'm strong on the outside, not all the way through. I've never been perfect, but neither have you.
I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself.
I was a geek who thought I was cool. I didn't hang out with a particular clique, but with different people from different cliques. I was a total nerd, trying to fit in.

That's where the lyrics to 'Guilty By Association' came from.
What’s the worst thing I've stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.
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.
You can't be afraid of people willing to hurt you, cause if you fear life, then you will never live

We'd like to think that our music will always be bigger than any one of our individual personalities.
The rule in music land is never doody in the bus and never doody in the RV.
Atom bombs, something's wrong. D.E.A sent to Guam. Acid Trips, big fat chics. Purple Finstone Vitamins.All the needy rich are greedy. I find out you don't need me. Berlin wall starts to fall. I trip out to the wall. Hooray Horrah
Touring for two years is excruciating.
