Metal Hammer July 2002
"Well I have a new house and a new baby, but I just want people when I'm not doing my music to let me be. If I'm out walking my dog and my kid's with me, I don't want to hang out and talk about Linkin Park, I just want to walk my dog."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm really enjoying my life and I feel suitably blessed but when I'm off the road and with my family, let me be a dad, let me be a husband and just chill out."
"All I wanna say is it's amazing what having a shoot with a professional photographer can do for you. I'm amazed my wife can even look at me!"

Chester commenting on Malaysia
My wife and I were talking about how excited we are about bringing our kids out here for perhaps vacation and get to experience more of the culture than just flying in and doing shows.

Excerpt from Kerrang
Chester Bennington is someone you'd have thought would want to pour a lot of heart into his lyrics. The last couple of years of his life have been difficult. He's talking, unwillingly, about how he recently divorced his first wife Samantha, a woman he reportedly met while working in a Burger King and married when he was just 20 years old. He's also talking, equally grudgingly, about how, shortly after his divorce, he remarried new wife Talinda Bentley. When he speaks, he peppers his sentences with endless "You knows" and "likes", as though unsure of what it is he actually wants to say.
"If we were a tabloid band then we wouldn't have to talk about this as you'd already know all this kind of stuff" he says, resignedly. "I got divorced. That's always fun. That's always a good time. I felt like someone, like, came up to me and said, 'Here's a big pile of sh**. Eat it'. I also got remarried, so I had, you know, end the other one. I lost all my money in the divorce and that sucks. That was something that was very difficult to deal with. All these things make you feel hung, drawn and quartered.
It was a process that on and on, Bennington getting ever wearier by the divorce proceedings.
"There are certain things that you'd like to let go and you can't because they've got their claws in you, you know." he continues. "It's like you get shot by a Taser and all these little hooks grab into your skin. After those shock you and drop you to the ground, you think, 'Thank God that's over'. Then all the person has to do is stand there and wait to zap you again. That's what my life has been like for the last couple of years. I'll et my ass kicked and then, when I'm feeling relief and trying to let things go. I'll realize this thing is still stuck in me. Then, every once in a while, I'll get zapped and reminded of what I was going through. That's a pretty hard place to live."

Linkin Park, family men
Here is a bit from a teleconference call with Chester and Mike....
“As much as we talk about how much time we like to be with our families and take off, it’s important for us to have a balance. The reality is that if we take even a week longer than we expected, it becomes uncomfortable." - Chester
Interview with Chester
Parts from the Etnies interview with Chester:
.........And I have this crest across my chest that has my initials, my wife’s initials and the initials of my boys underneath it. And it’s right over my heart; I think that one’s my most sentimental piece. I love it. It’s really simple, there’s not any color; it’s just black and greys. It means a lot to me. . .
