MTV: Is there anything you want to say to your fellow artists or your fans about this time?
Durst: There should be no hate crimes going on, because you can't hate someone because of where they're from. ... It is time to come together and realize that life is so precious, every single day, every single night, everything we take for granted. ... Now is the time to give it all up. To give up hatred, give up grudges, give up differences, because it's not worth it. To spend our lives disliking someone or something, or have grudges ... [when] our own world is so small? If everyone doesn't come to their senses and realize we've got to let all that go, then they're blind. They're as blind as the people who are killing us. I've had my problems with whoever I've had them with, and whoever had their problem with me or Limp Bizkit. [But] I'm a human being, and I'm prepared to step up to that. All of my differences are gone now. I care about you being alive, and I want you to care about me being alive. Who knows what the world has to bring in the future? [RealVideo] Right now, it's f---ing unbelievable. It makes me want to cry. I don't know if it's a thing that we'll forget about later, but I'll guarantee you that you don't just raise your flag right now. You don't believe in it right now, ... that's not enough. Everybody does that after each war. For a minute, everybody unites, then it's back to the same old, same old. We can't go back anymore. It's too real. If we decide to bond now, I think we have to do it forever. If we don't do it forever, then we are going to be gone.
MTV: Have you been spending a lot of time looking at your newborn son the past few days?
Durst: Yeah. I just look at him going, "Man, my new son. You're so small, you're so new. You don't know [about] anything that's going on. Are you going to be able to get your permit and drive when you're 16?" It's too much. ... I'm scared and I want to survive. I want to live. I just don't want people hating people so much they can kill someone. We just happen to be on different continents, [but] we're all human beings. [Real Video] All this bad stuff going on in the Middle East, ... we've just been ignoring it because we're here and we're safe in America. Now that world has come to us, and I think that we can help those worlds and literally triumph from all this disaster and tragedy to become one world. I really believe that's possible. ... Just think how quickly you can't look in the mirror at yourself. Think how quickly that's gone, that luxury of taking a second look. When it's gone, it's gone. All the people you love, all your friends, anybody around you, they're gone. That is devastating to me. It's just too much. I'm overwhelmed. ... I haven't thought so much about it until right now, and I wouldn't normally be the person to be telling you this, but I am this person right now. It's very important that you listen to me and you become at peace with yourself and with everyone in this world. Because I love being alive, and I hope you do, too. We can make a difference.
