"Move over, guys. Make room for Avril Lavigne, she's a big star. We're only a little rock band."
Chester Bennington
"We didn't do it to avoid the parental advisory sticker. It's not that we dont use profanity in daily life. I'm a big fan of it, it's a great way to sum up a feeling. However, when you're writing lyrics, the last thing you want to do is cheat the music by summing up the message in a small phrase. We want to express ourselves to the fullest, and vulgarity doesnt add anything special. We found just the opposite, if you dont use it, you get your points across better"
Chester Bennington
"We're sooo boy bandish, aren't we?"
Chester Bennington
"Here's the thing: we didn't really hear about that until we left the US. In the US, I think I heard a rumour through my brother that somebody started back East, but for the most part, nobody has even heard that before. Maybe it's the fact we've never been out here before and the lack of communication between fans and ourselves made that happen, but almost every interviewer has asked something about this boy band thing, and it's freaking ridiculous, it's so silly!"
Mike Shinoda
"I think it's because of my strikingly good looks."
Chester Bennington
"I think it's because of your strikingly bad looks.
Mike Shinoda
"I totally disagree. I think i'm the most important person...ever."
Chester Bennington
"I think chesters full of himself and I think thats really hot!"
Mike Shinoda
"Yeah sometimes at night you're full of me too."
Chester Bennington
"I want to know if Joe Hahn sleeps in the nude?"
Brad Delson
"Yes he does. *wink wink*"
Mike Shinoda
"We kind of just like ninjas and dark tunnels and fire." Chester Bennington
"And guys with big hair that look like werewolves."
Mike Shinoda
"Grr! Arr!"
Chester Bennington
"My summer holiday is going to happen this winter, and I'm going to Fiji. It's been me and my wife's dream to go there together for a long time, and we're actually going to make that happen some time very soon. It's got really beautiful weather all year round, and the beaches are amazing.. you're basically off in the middle of the Pacific on an island. We're going to sit on the beach for two weeks and drink Tahitian liquor."
Chester Bennington
"We're not the Grateful Dead or Pink Floyd. We're Linkin Park, and we cut all the fat out. We don't do guitar or drum solos."
Chester Bennington
"I'm not a rapper, so I would be pretty bad at trying to rap in a band. Mike isn't naturally a singer, but the funny thing is he has a really good voice."
Chester Bennington
"I see a lot of you fuckers crowd-surfing and moshing out there, we love that. Just show each other some respect. And there are some strong women here tonight. When they crowd-surf, that is not an invitation to grab their breasts."
Chester Bennington
"We support free music. So go ahead! Download that shit!" Mike Shinoda
"We've been hit and broken things. Brad's guitar has hit me in the head before. I actually threw up in my mouth in Des Moines."
Mike Shinoda
"There's wacky girls all over the place that try to do weird things, but we don't pay attention to them. We just kind of do our own thing and hang out with the fans that are really important to us."
Chester Bennington
"I'm just a regular guy, you know? There's no leotard and cape under my clothes. I shit, I piss, I drink too much and throw up, just like everybody else."
Chester Bennington
