As real and transparent as our conversations would be, he was always the one projecting light on the shadows."<ref name="auto">{{Cite magazine|first=Anna|last=Gaca|date=July 25, 2017|title=Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst on Chester Bennington: 'He Had a Way of Making Anyone He Spoke to Feel Heard'|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/limp-bizkit-fred-durst-chester-bennington-interview-7880909/|access-date=September 1, 2021|magazine=Billboard|archive-date=October 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211024122730/https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/rock/7880909/limp-bizkit-fred-durst-chester-bennington-interview|url-status=live}}</ref>
