You have to destroy something to make it beautiful.
There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope.
I learned to see beauty in everything and ugliness in everything. I developed a very honest perspective.
Sing, that's the most powerful weapon you have.
You can do amazing things when you believe.
It reminded me of a meat grinder. From when I was a kid. Going to school it felt like you were in a meat grinder. It chews you up and pours out this mess that can't function
People don't know if i'm gay, straight or an alien from outer space.. its funny
I Just Got So Emo That I Just Fell Apart!!
Never forget how beautiful you are.
The world is gonna try to clean you up, what the f**k you gonna do about it? You're gonna say, "I wanna stay ugly".
All we ever wanna do is inspire somebody to be who they wanna be and to give them a little bit of hope.
Making a record is a lot like surgery without an anesthetic. You first have to cut yourself up the middle. Then you have to rip out every single organ, every single part and lay them on a table. You then need to examine the parts, and the reality of the situation hits you. Then you pop it all back in, sew yourself shut and perform.
Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it.
I thought if we made an album that tried to change the world, or give it hope, it would really happen. But all people found was death and destruction and misery and self-hate. I learned that the world doesn't want to be saved, and it will f**king punch you in the face if you try.
