There was a time when Fred Durst encouraged fans to "Break Stuff." That time is over. In the wake of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, Limp Bizkit's often-agitated leader is making a positive change.

"It is time to come together and realize that life is so precious, every single day, every night, everything we take for granted," Durst said.

In a sobering interview with Heather Parry, Durst talked about filming the video for "Rollin'" at the top of the now-demolished World Trade Center towers, what kind of world he wants his newborn son, Dallas, to inherit, and why he thinks we all must find a way to get along.

MTV: Where were you when you heard about the terrorist attacks? What was your reaction?

Durst: I was asleep when I heard. I had a phone call after the first building had been struck. I turned on [the TV] and saw the second building get hit. For me, like everybody else, it [was] a surreal situation. It's hard to comprehend. It's reality, unfortunately. I instantly started worrying about all humanity, worrying about my new son, worrying about what's to come. I've been supporting the red, white and blue constantly since, but I don't believe it's a territory thing. I don't think it's an America thing. It's a world thing. It's a human beings thing. ... Life on Earth is temporary as it is. The afterlife is there for us, but let it happen when it's supposed to happen, not because you want to carry out [acts of] hatred. [RealVideo]
