Durst: I listen to older music to inspire me. I'm not listening to anything like [Lee Greenwood's] "God Bless the U.S.A." or [Bruce Springsteen's] "Born in the U.S.A." I'm listening to more melancholy music that's sentimental, sad. The Cure, Bad Company, Frank Sinatra. [RealVideo]

MTV: In addition to being a musician, you're also a director. A lot of people have started taking another look at Hollywood, specifically at "Die Hard"-style action movies. Do you think Hollywood needs to look at its scripts more closely?

Durst: I believe in freedom [of expression]. Do I believe in glamorizing [violence] and that creating an addictive story [has to start] with destruction? I never was a fan of those types of movies. ... It's hard to separate the movies from the reality right now, [but] I don't think we made it happen by creating those movies. I don't think the people who did the [attacks] were fans of those movies. But I think action-packed thrillers maybe shouldn't thrive off of destruction as much as they have. The freedom to do what you want to do should be there, but I think the world has changed permanently. It's time to reconsider those types of things. Pulling all the different songs from video and radio, ... I don't think those songs and videos were driving people to be destructive, but I think we should be a little cautious, because we're all listening now. Before, those songs were irrelevant. Those movies were irrelevant. Now that this has happened, they're not. ... I don't think we should have songs that make people feel like they should retaliate. Or songs that make people feel destructive or feel angst in an angry, physically damaging way. [RealVideo]

MTV: Where do you think Hollywood goes from here?

Durst: I think Hollywood has a new edge. I think now they can really get in touch with humanity and character studies, more of a human, common-man type of view. [Movies] can be driven by personalities and individuals, common [themes] to help us understand one another. I think comedy's great, drama's great, action's great. A lot of the action that we've glamorized and that [previously] only lived in the movies has become reality. Maybe we don't need those kinds of action films right now. We love movies, we love music. This is no reason whatsoever to stop either. It's a reason to make music and movies 10 times better for everybody.

MTV: Your video for "Rollin'" was shot on top of the World Trade Center towers.

Durst: We received a letter the day before the attack from the World Trade Center thanking us for letting them be a part of a video that just won an award [the 2001 VMA for Best Rock Video]. I had it framed. I found it very ironic, very bizarre that I received that letter on Monday, and Tuesday the [attacks occurred]. For me to have gotten to go to the top of such a great, powerful structure ... to have those people embrace me and let Limp Bizkit spend 22 hours on top of the World Trade Center doing what we do. ... And for it to be taken down? The structure itself means nothing to me. I don't believe in that structure being a symbol of power, of pride, of America. What means something to me is the people that were killed around and in that building innocently, for no reason except hatred. It overwhelms me. I thank God the night we were on the World Trade Center wasn't the night they decided to do that. [RealVideo]
