This is what I’ve learned, in my life: Headbanging is crucial. Growing up is hard to do. There’s nothing wrong with wearing a dress.
Suicide is no solution. Keep fighting.
Its just my goal to make other girls feel as strong as I feel when Im on that stage.
Paramore will be the neighbor that comes over for tea and never leaves.
Paramore is a family. Once youre in it, youre in it for life.
Let the pain remind you hearts can heal.
I just feel like bands always need to work harder than the hardest working band. You need to constantly be one-upping yourself and surprising yourself at how hard that you’ll work and devote yourself to your craft.
The thing is, our generation, we fight every day to get through life.
I believe music is a place everyone of us can go to.
Everyone’s gotta make their own way.
I don’t think anyone loses by trying to be loyal to their dreams.
I’m not a real crazy social butterfly – and once I realised that and I accepted it, I started to realise how many people weren’t accepting of that.
I don’t really know that I really have an opinion that I think people need to hear.
For me growing up, I’ve found that I don’t really go out and party and I don’t hang out – when I come home and I’m home, I’m a pretty chilled person.
When you stop caring about something, then other people have to decide whether or not they genuinely care about you, or not.
I like to talk about things when it pertains to a band. I like to talk about things that matter and music.
I live around dudes all the time so I’ve heard millions of stories about how they go through a breakup and then the girl turns absolutely crazy. I always thought growing up like: “No, I won’t be like that – when I go through a breakup I’ll be cool.”
The most incredible thing about playing the songs live for people – looking out to the crowd and seeing the different reactions and the different heart-strings and the things that people are relating to that mean something to them, that’s crazy.
The most important part about playing shows and touring, is connecting with fans. At the end of the day it’s not really a band and fans, we’re all just human beings.
I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to be too deep about it, but when we play shows, music takes everybody on their own journey – because one song might mean something to me, that means something completely different to someone else.
The only truth I know is my own.
