Chester Bennington

You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it.

The fans are the biggest reason we do what we do.

When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind.

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.

We'd like to think that our music will always be bigger than any one of our individual personalities.

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.

You can't be afraid of people willing to hurt you, cause if you fear life, then you will never live

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. Luckily, I found music and that was my niche. That sorta took me out of my geekdom. I was never invited to parties as a teenager - I turned up with the popular people. That's where the lyrics to 'Guilty By Association' came from.

I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself.

Tattoos exude pain and pleasure all at the same time.
