It's weird to try to write lyrics for somebody else. They can't really get behind what you're saying or what you want them to say because they didn't experience it.

More quotes by Wes Borland
I'm always looking at other artists and trying to get inspired by different things.
Wes Borland
Selling records is fantastic. But if you're not loving what you do, and if everybody is throwing knives at you, it can get old very fast.
Wes Borland
All I want to do is write songs about funny characters I made up.
Wes Borland
We're gonna totally sell out and try to dominate the world
Wes Borland
I have nothing to complain about.
Wes Borland
I could have probably gone on and still played the part of the guitar player of Limp Bizkit, but musically I was kind of bored. If I was to continue, it would have been about the money and not about the true music, and I don't want to lie to myself, or to them or to fans of Limp Bizkit.
Wes Borland
I've never really been schooled in music theory. I'm a guitar player, and I attack the guitar in a certain way that it not fully unique to me, but it's more unique that some other people.
Wes Borland
There may be something good in silence. It's a brand new thing. You can hear the funniest little discussions, if you keep turning the volume down. Shut yourself up, and listen out loud.
Wes Borland
I've accepted the fact that Limp Bizkit is my band, one that I'm a part of, a band that I've built from the beginning. It does me no good to be in somebody else's band playing their music, like Marilyn Manson or Korn. Being in Limp Bizkit allows me to be myself.
Wes Borland
Music has completely taken over every aspect of my life and ruined everything.
Wes Borland
Real family values have gone down the drain in modern families.
Wes Borland
Guys are idiots, till they're what, 40 years old.
Wes Borland
Limp Bizkit is my main priority, but my side project, Black Light Burns, is still a labor of love. We have a record written, so we'll see when that comes out. When we tour, we go out in a van and trailer with me driving.
Wes Borland
I would love to put out music that was just stunning or soul-baring or whatever. But I don't think I have the voice for it.
Wes Borland
When playing any song in front of an audience, you're watching them experience it, and it changes. In a lot of ways, it's almost like the music is just the background buzz to what's happening between you and the audience in the room.
Wes Borland
I've always wanted to be a songwriter and a storyteller and somebody who conveys a feeling to the listener or the viewer.
Wes Borland
It took me a long time to find my voice as a singer, and I'm happy that I did.
Wes Borland
I don't feel there's any kind of pain in my life.
Wes Borland
I've never been in a band where someone goes, 'Ah, I've got the perfect name! And it's because I climbed Mount Fuji, and at the top a golden dove came down...' It's always a bunch of guys sitting around going, 'How about Rotten Chipmunks?
Wes Borland
I'm too old to be farting around with stuff that isn't precisely what I want to do.
