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.
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.
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.
